Saragmeg, A quick google seems to show lots of methods. Ask someone who knows what they are doing about the risk. Most popular: Clean well. Apply acetone to make colors run and fill in scratches. Apply wax and protective coatings, cause acetone will remove wax and other protective coatings. I don't vouch for this and do NOT know enough about cars to say whether this is a good idea or not or what the risk is. [link]
If keying left scratches too deep for this apparently paint dealers can match car paint. [link]
I do know that if the match is not exact, it can make it look worse.
Again, not reccing any of this = just what google shows. Run these by somebody who knows autos, which is definitely NOT me.
I seem to remember Maria (MFNlaw) being super knowledgeable about cars. And isn't there a Buffista whose DH writes an auto column?
Skimming like it's a thing.
Sarameg, ugh, I'm sorry about the keying.
JZ, I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but I'm glad you got angry.
Pix, all the iTino resistant strength to you. I remember having conversations like that at ECN, but repercussions? Do not like the sound of that.
ita! Accomodations should carry over? Right?
Yay msbelle!
SuziQ I hope your teeth are feeling better.
In Soxland, we get a Raq and a Mallory in @ 7 hrs and there is excitement being had. I just need to turn around Impossible Thing 1 and Almost Finished Thing 2 and then I can pack.
I wish I could go to Soxland, it sounds fun.
I took a muscle relaxant last night before bed (like at 6PM!) so that I'd sleep soundly, which does work, except that even with caffeine, I still feel like getting back in bed. Le sigh.
Soxland does sound pretty great.
The bad thing about my phone recording how well/much I sleep - I can see the steady decline ivd had all this week too easily. Ah, well. My beloved coffee will see me through.
Oy vey, people!
All of my stuff is just annoying, so I will refrain. At least it's Friday?
Yes, it is. And not a moment too soon.
sarameg, that sucks. I'm glad that I was the first one to scratch my new car. It was bound to happen some time. I was going to suggest sharpie since it's a black car!
I was also thinking sharpie. I bet Car Talk has some suggestions.
I have the traditional day-before-a-holiday short day today, and a short week next week, two normal weeks and then a vacation. I think I will need it.
Now I want to create soxland. AKA Buffista Island.
