it happened...scratched!

you know, i got my tC in february, i baby the thing. although it's really dusty in the pics. anyways, i was pulling into my garage when i hear a scrape, so i stopped right away and got out to look. turns out my mom put the garbage can close to the edge of the door...it's a plastic garbage can and it ate through my paint, into the metal/maybe primer. scions have some weak ass paint, this would have left a clearcoat scratch on my corolla.
i ordered a color matched scratch pen and clear coat pen from paintscratch.com, i'll try and rub it with rubbing compound (my car will not tolerate wet sanding)
anyways, heres some pics, i tried rubbing compound and different polishes, but it's scratched good. i can feel it lightly with my fingernail. it doesn't look terrible, the pics with the flash make it stand out alot, i haven't looked at it in daylight yet though i wanna cry

Clutter is the enemy!
You'll get over it soon.

hey you have the same folding chair I do... that sucks about the scrach... my S got scrached the same way... only my nehbor ran his trash can in to it...

doesnt look toooo deep..

u think a buffer'd help?

nah, it's in at least the primer...buffer would mask it a little...

i'll just complain about it until i get my paint pen. a scratch on a car thats only 3 months old, being my first car...sucks! i'll get over it.
i know the outside of my car will get dings and scrapes as time goes by, i'll concentrate on keeping the inside nice...

scratched clear coat can look white and chalky too

plus it happened to my car, it got buffed out now u can barely see it

who knows giv it a shot

i'll see what i can do tomorrow, perhaps a compound with more cut to it...

i feel your pain
