Hey their chris15,

Sorry to hear about your paint problem, and I would be more than happy to try to get you hooked up with a good detailed rundown on how to fix her up good as new.

I do have 2 question for ya of which one of them you are already working on which would be the need to see pictures of the damage. The other is, where exactly are you located in Florida? The reason I ask is this, by far the fastest, easiest, and most cost effective way to fix it would be to have it professionally done. Not at a Body Shop where you are about right on the money with the cost being around $800 - $900 for the job, but rather having a mobile service come out and professionally air brush all the nicks out of your entire car for close to what you have in materials!

Car Dealerships use these Mobile Services on a daily basis to come to wherever they are, and clean up all the little door dings, and paint nicks by air brush and/or paintless dent removal on both used cars prior to being put on the lot, and new cars whenever they may come in with damage caused by shipping, or Lot Damage caused by a New Car Porter who maneuvers the new cars around all day and might run a chance of scuffing a bumper, and so on. These guys have computerized Paint Matching software to match your paint exactly irregardless if its slightly faded, or the OEM Paint is not consistent, or any other situation ten times better than any touch up paint you will find on the open market. Then they use only Automotive Grade PPG or Dupont Paint, and will apply clear coat over, color sand, buff, glaze, and wax the repaired area to perfection to where it is next to impossible to ever tell where the damage was! Best part is they usually charge around $100 - $150 for the whole car, so if you have any other area's that need touching up, it all gets fixed at one time to better than new! By the time you invest like you have their with your kit, add sandpaper, buffing compound, glaze, and wax to the table, your easily talking about close to, if not over the cost of materials to get it done professionally and at best you still won't be able to match the quality you can get from having a Service do it for you! So, depending on where your located, this would be your best bet. If you want, I can refer you to a good guy in your area that specializes in this type of work. If you still would like to do it yourself, please be sure to post some good pic's of the damage, and let me know and I would be more than happy to do a step by step write up walking you through the process to fix and air brush the damage out.

Go easy, and let me know, and I will do a thorough write up for you.
