My four-year-old daughter drew a nice big portrait of her favorite cartoon character and some hearts, with a rock, on the hood of my car. My car's black. Now I'm not looking for suggestions as to what to do with my daughter but my car. Anyone have any luck covering large scratches in their car, or is my only option going to a body shop?

im more curious as to what you did to punish your daugher lol

[RubberMallet]

that. is. hilarious.]

who is the cartoon character?


but anyways...it really all depends on how bad its scratched...so basically we need to see pictures

Call your insurance company...and get a paint job.

Someday, you'll really laugh about this. However, it might have to wait for her wedding rehearsal dinner though.

That is a GREAT stunt. Fortunately your insurance will cover it. It falls under the same category as your car being vandalized. i.e. someone keys your car or breaks your windows. It SHOULDN'T fall under your homeowners so fight that if they try/ BTW, who insures your car/house. (NO I am not in insurance LOL)

She didnt draw the picture from the office where Daffy is giving it to Mickey did she?



I say leave it...every time you look at your car you'll remember her...good or bad

I have Rockingham insurance, but fixing this won't go past my deductible, so that's not the route I want to take. I might try having it buffed out, but has anyone tried any of those magic solutions that supposedly eliminate scratches? I don't think these have gone through the black paint, but I'd rather not buff off a large area of clearcoat.

[JDUB]

it depends on how bad it is, but rubbing compound will take out some scratches. either way your hood willl need repainted eventually because your gonna end up taking off the clear coat fixing this so its just a matter of time till you have to paint it

[RubberMallet]

seriously, i can tell you what you need to do but i need to see pictures of the scratches up close...

[flamesbball84]

that clear coat fixing stuff will start peeling off eventually, might as well just get it repainted

Hey, some people have jobs with normal working hours. I am one of those people. I'll try to take pictures tonight.

[scuzdriver]

Give your daughter some black crayons and see what happens.

[Purple Haize]

Actually, you shouldn't have any deductible on this claim. These are usually 0 deductable, but you may have a crappy policy too LOL

[ALUmnus]

I couldn't get a good close-up with my camera, and the sky on the black paint doesn't make for good pictures anyways, but here's what it looks like:

[Fumblerooskies]

Paint job...

[LUconn]

That's pretty good artwork for a 4 year old. I bet your wife did it.

[Cider Jim]

Which cartoon character is that?

I was thinking the same thing...

No way...way to intense for a happy wife....has to be a neighbors whore daughter





but seriously...this is good work...





Can I ask a question to everyone other than Alum? Did anyone else laugh when they saw the pictures? I mean it's really not funny but for whatever reason I really did laugh...I think one day he'll laugh about this too...just not anytime soon after these payments

[Sly Fox]

All the parents of young children on here grimaced and ran to their garages to check their own cars.

has to be a neighbors whore daughter

so
tempting
but
will
not
make
an
HMO
joke

[RubberMallet]

yeah....there is nothing you can do other than repainting the hood...which having it doen right will cost around 500 dollars....they wil have to sand, and then a few coats of black, and a few coats of clear coat....and depending upon how old, blending...
