Default I hate blown tires on the freeway!!!! :-(

I was driving to Las Vegas on the weekend and did not see a big piece of blown tire on the freeway. Messed up my rear bumper. I am trying to fix it with some fiberglass and bond. Hope it works or its time for a new rear valence.<ul><li><a href="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/slowpoke_06/IMG_0306.jpg">http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/slowpoke_06/IMG_0306.jpg</a</li></ul>

oh well, thanks. trying to fix it right now hopefully I could mend it with fiberglass and a little paint. Where could I order my original paint in a spray can. Any tips out there?

Default look on your door i believe is where the paint numbers are located, and >>

write it down. your local auto parts store should have cans of paint to match that number on your door jam.

Default Depends on how bad..>>

A deep key mark is usually a professional job...

You can try it with touch up and careful wet sanding, but if you don't know what you're doing it'll look worse in teh end. Don't use spray paint..
