I misjudged a curb while parking this afternoon and gouged the bottom front skirt on my Xb. Look like it went straight through the paint, and left an indentation.

I recently bought some touch up paint and have read about the touch up magic product, but I'm not sure how best to deal with the indentation. Can I buff it out??

Has anyone made a similar repair?

Thnx.

If at all possible, a picture would be worth a thousand words. Without actually seeing the damage, it would be difficult to suggest an accurate repair procedure.

Makes sense. I'll post one soon.

What color?

If it's white, you're in luck. Go down to your local hardware store and get a roll of white electrical tape. Cut a piece to cover your parking rash. It matches so well that the fix is invisible unless you point it out. Be happy!

Black electrical tape might work on a black xB. I have no idea what the folks with in-between colors might do.

i did the same thing just yesterday :(

In all liklihood there will be more to come over the years. It's sad when the first one happens though. I wouldn't mess with it, it's not gonna look right Unless you get a real body shop to handle it.

thats not as bad as I thought it was. Can that be buffed out, with the touch up?

was backing up out of driveway and bottom of the spoiler caught on the curb

Affter a few days have passed it doesn't bother me as much as it did when it first happened. And this morning I just got my first parking ticket, grrrr.

Still I'd like to try to buff it out, aply the touch up paint I bought, make a project of it some day--if I knew that the job was do-able by someone without experience.

Life goes on--and I still love driving the car....
