Default O Man Did I Mess Up!

Ok so here we go, I am pulling out my mother limited edition 1998 528SE BMW. And as I pull out I side swipe my vette on the dirvers side, so I take out the back fender back I mean the fiber glass split in about 4 places all the way to the window!!!

So here is what I am going to do, I am going to strip the paint (I think) repair the glass and then repaint it.

Any one know of a place in Dallas to buy auto paint, and anyone care to recommend a good gun to shoot the paint with that isn't to expensive??

Thanks,
wgc_3


TRUST ME I AM KICKING MY SELF IN THE *** and hard too.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that...

You might give Jeff a call as Corvettes of Dallas on I35 (Carrollton). He's well connected and trustworthy. Jeff runs the service department.
