It’s got the ever slightest ripple so it’s not flat anymore. Not only is this place expensive, that won’t even be able to take it till the end of October. I waxed out some of it but a chunk of paint is missing. Gotta get it fixed

Find another shop. That’s literally one of the easiest fixes / paint blends to do.

Put some glazing putty in the chunk and paint that business. Seriously. I'm not saying it'll be what the shop (especially Dale) will do, but you'll get that exhaust and nobody will be able to see it.

Cut someone off and clipped them. Interesting thing was it was my fault and I pulled over but the person took off. Turned into a $1500 mistake. Doesn’t look bad but auto body shop said they can’t spot paint, gotta take the whole thing off and paint...total bummer. There goes my exhaust money View attachment 208226View attachment 208227
At least no one was injured.

Ouch! That stinks! But I would definitely get another shop to look at it. $1500 for a bump is ridiculously expensive! That’s like Socal prices right there! Lol. But seriously though!

Sucks. Shit happens, it could be worse.

I realize it was a small amount of impact, but I must say I’m somewhat surprised with how “in alignment” your rear bumper seems to still be with your rear tail light and rear quarter panel...

If that is the white pearl paint, that is a three stage paint and it will look like garbage if they don't repaint the entire bumper. The three stage paint is more in materials and more in labor. $1500 does sound a little bit high but there could be other damage that can't be seen in the picture they have to fix. Besides, I'd be willing to pay more as long as the paint matches properly when done and there isn't a ton of defects in the paint.
