I had an *encounter* with a couple of orange and white barrels on I-75 tonight.

There doesn't seem to be any dents, but the whole front end (hood included) as well as the driver's door will need to be painted. I also need a new driver side rear view mirror.

I'm not that upset since it could have been a whole lot worse. And I'm getting an alignment just to be safe.

DAMN DOT and their infinite construction.

Don't laugh...but did you try buffing any of it out?

wonder if clay bar / some elbow grease would take some of that out?

a very last resort. I had a time where we had 3 bad things happen to us in a year of which none were our fault and 2 were natural disaster things. Insurance company cancelled even though no claims in 20 years.

So, if you can pay without any real hardship, don't even call them. Insurance companies have caller ID and will even note an anoymous call I have heard.

Before I clay barred it, there was the possibility of a new paint job and a shiny new pristine car. Now I just have a scratched up paint job with half my clear coat gone.

TTR-RIP

Wet sand the clearcoat and respray.

a fender from the junkyard.... not quite as easy as it looks in the Haynes body repair manual.

Heh, heh, damn Haynes manuals. They make everything look easy.
