Default DANG IT!! I Scuffed my chin!

This morning, I pulled into the parking lot at the bank and scrubbed the curb with my front bumper.

Is there anything, short of taking ot to a body shop, that I can do to fix this? It's a visible scuff, and it really ticks me off.

Did it eat thru the paint, or just scuff it? If the paint is still there, clay bar should do it. If it ate the paint,...

My wife's Cruiser is all scratched up I used touch-up
paint and clear coat looks OK for now.I'm sure I'll
have to do it again. I don't let her drive mine unless she is going where there aren't any curbs.

My front fascia piece is a mess, but you can't see them unless you get down and look under.

I would guess this is true for over 50% of those owning PT Cruisers. [:0] AND, for those who have lowered their rides it must be close to 100%! [B)] Correct??? [:I]

Oh yeah. I changed my oil last week and when I got under the car I was stunned! It doesn't make much of a hit to really scrape that baby up. I was considering one of those neat chrome covers for the little plastic lip way down low.....forget it! That thing looks like my dog has been chewing on it. But like KingKole said, unless you get way down low you can't see it. Maybe it shows more on a white or silver car though, but my Graphit Metallic hides it pretty well.

Exactly. I was thinking about that chrome strip for the bottom lip. NO WAY! I painted it red about 1.5 months ago to match the body and its already scuffed up. URGHH! But you can't really see it. I've actually given up on the whole bottom grille portion. Its so chipped and rough. I clean it, but thats about it. You can't tell unless you go right up to it anyway.

I agree, mine is lowered and underneath it is a mess but I can't see it from the top and thank goodness it's plastic!!
