Oh B******s!!

Somebody had the bright idea of keying the entire length of my car last month (clio)

Here it is fresh out the booth:



All fixed and had the whole side re-painted for £350, that included £70 extra as the paint had an insane amount of pearl in it.

They also re-painted the whole rear bumper for £120. (colour match was off)



Pro tip: you don't need a tvr specialist to repair. A good bodyshop should charge less than £160

Years ago, around about 18 to be exact, I reversed my then wife's car out of the garage and parked it up in the turning area on our drive.
Then jumped into my car and reversed that one out of the garage..............
Front of her Rover 416 never looked quite right after that.

I used to drive taxis on weekend nights, we'd finish about 3AM or so.
One night we'd locked the fleet in the garage and got in our own cars to go home.
The guy parked next to me said goodnight, revved his engine - and reversed into a skip. Hard. Reverse on his car was where his taxi had first gear

That sounds familiar, my Tasmin was resprayed Ferrari Rosso Pearl, I think the painter said it was about 80% pearl. Took loads of coats to get good colour depth.
