imo di na kelangan iclaim yan, ang minimum participation fee ay 2.5-3.5k, samantalang mga 1k amount lang magagastos mo dyan paretouch

Gumamit nga lang sya ng rotary. Sa polish, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound pwede.
You can buy from a paint shop that can mix your paint code or go to one who can mix and match by sight (ask around).

By hand ka siguro. Magaan na rub kasi pagnanggigil ka baka masira ang maayos pa na pintura sa paligid.

Subukan mo lang sa kalahating haba ng isang gasgas para may before and after ka at kung may talent ka nga. Tapos panel by panel ka na. Goodluck or part. fee na lang.

[Retz]

Ung ganyan klaseng gasgas, magkano ang costing to repair it? kasi pag claim sa insurance participation, 3K na un diba.

[baludoy]

actually mukhang tansan (bottle cap) na ginamit dyan. pag ganyan, by panel na din ba ang pag-repaint niyan? kung oo, di lalabas na 3 panels ang kelangan tirahin sa car ni ts?

Our 01 CRV got keyed a few years back, paikot siya left to right, pati hood hindi pinalalampas, nag-autograph pa siya. I'm still waiting for the summer to have it "wash-overed". Costly but that's the only solution.

I woke up this morning to this:



Aside from having insurance take care of the damage, is there anything else I can do? Will rubbing compound be enough for this?

Things to do after your car was "keyed".

1. Bawasan ang sobrang yabang sa katawan. Remember na maraming ingiterro sa mundo at madaling bumawi lalo na sa kotse mo.
2. Ayusin ang pag-park. Baka may naharangan ka na driveway.
3. Makisama sa kapitbahay. See number 1.
4. Iwasan ang pagpark sa daanan ng maraming tao lalo na kapag malapit ka sa isang public elementary school.
5. Have your car detailed or repaint the panels.

Pa retoke mo na lang kaya yan sa 1k, atleast di na ganon kasakit tuwing nakikita mo dahil na retouch na.

[skybison]

areyko, pag ako nakahuli nyan dudurugin ko daliri nya.

wala sa wastong pag-iisip ang gumawa nyan. Like you said, iilan din kayo naka park sa labas - sa mata ng adik/timang kung sino gusto nya gas-gasan, YARI ka.


it happened to me before hood & trunk ko (labas metal sa lalim ng kayod), that was 4yrs ago (1yr din nakapark sa kalye). Ang mali nun suspect (adik ko na kapitbahay), pinagmalaki/yabang nya sa iba yun ginawa nya sa kotse ko (at me nagsumbong naman sa akin.)

well, ginapang ko sa madaling araw yun motor/underbone nya (malaki kameng compound nuon), placed some amount of grinding compound sa engine thru oil cap. Ayun 3wks after ayaw na umandar ng motor nya. Bwahaha!

Ginasgasan din ako last week, same kase ni Jut703.

RH fender, FRT RH door, RR RH Door, at RH quarter panel yung sa Toyota Mnl Bay ang quote na sa akin para sa re-paint ay umabot na ng 24thou.

Pero kung meron kayong alam na mura lang ung paretouch (Las Pinas Area) please post.

Thanks,

Kalakaran ata sa casa now is 4-5k/panel. Some reputable paint shop are 2.5-3k/panel.

Not sure though sa pricing kung kasama na latero in case....

1. Wala akong inaagrabyadong tao. Especially not in our village. Ni hindi nga ko nagbubusina in fear of ticking anyone off.
2. I park right outside our own driveway. Kung may nahaharangan na driveway, amin yun, dahil yung kapitbahay na katapat namin, nakikipark sa side namin ng street (sa kanila yung Lancer). Pinasementohan pa nga namin yung maliit na space between our front wall and the road para maisiksik ko dun yung kotse para wala akong mahahrangang ibang tao.
3. Again, I don't pick fights with any of my neighbors.
4. Our house is nowhere near a public school and isn't subject to heavy foot traffic.

Hindi porket sinusian, kup*l na. Minsan, pwedeng biktima ka lang talaga.

A possible suspect of mine is the owner of the Lancer parked on our side of the street. Pinagsabihan na namin dati na wag mag-park sa side namin kasi nakakaabala. Eto ginawa (kanya din yung Corolla):

Yup, minsan sobra na pakikisama mo sa paligid, talagang mahirap lalo na pag hindi mo makita yung tumitira sa kotse mo. Matindi yung parada nung Corolla na yan, pati daanan ng tao hinarangan. Maglagay ka ng malaking 'No Parking sign", yan ang ginawa ko at nilalagay ko na lang pag-aalis ako ng bahay. Marami na din gasgas ang sasakyan ko dahil madalas sinasandalan, lalo na yung may rivets sa maong at mga bata na naglalaro ng tansan. Wala na akong magawa kungdi mangarap ng magkaroon ng sariling garahe.

[jut703]

See Rule#3.

Obviously, we've let them park on our side. Nandun naman sa picture sa original post na naka-park yung Lancer niya diba. This picture of them having tantrums and waywardly parking their Corolla was taken over a year ago.

[olidotcom]

yup.. same thing happened to my van.. mukhang kutsilyo ang ginamit due to paint seemed not removed parang na cut diagonally that caused the paint to lift.. pero nevertheless.. gasgas.. 1 whole panel in the gas door area.. and another one sa likod.

no garage din and worse.. madaming dumadaang squatters area sa kalsada namin due to near vicinity of slums... plus, basketball court sa tapat ng bahay namin. tsk..

already applied the first paint pang re-touch.. then will follow siguro tonight for the second layer.. ulan kasi ng ulan eh.. kaya hindi ma tuloy tuloy ang pag retouch.. will wet sand siguro when fully covered na yung lubog at scratches to hide.. thank you dun sa nag bigay ng tip earlier in the pages.. currently doing that technique...

[jut703]

Hopefully there's a fix for this that's cheaper than having to claim it via insurance.

As has been posted and as advised by some of my friends, buffing might help. Though of course it won't remove the scratches as completely as compared to if I have it repainted, it might still help.

I'll be asking my friends with paint/auto shops for their presyong-kaibigan quotes on this one

Buffing might reduce it sir, but I doubt that it will totally erase the mark, ganyan na ganyan ang nangyari sa vios ko. Hangang ngayon andun pa din yung scratch, nagminimize lang yung deeper portions overtime (but still noticeable) yung mga light portions mawawala. I suggest na wag mo muna paayos sir, kung yung kapitbahay mo yan titirahin lang ulit yan pag pinaayos mo ngayon.

O.T. Natandaan ko tuloy yung sinaksak ng lasing yung trunk ng civic ko sa Legarda! grabe yun, kahit gusto ko gumanti hindi ko naman malapitan. Ako tuloy napakamot ng ulo

Makikisabat lang ng konti huh...

Since hindi naman sa tapat ng gate nyo nagpapark yung corolla, paano siya nakakaabala sa iyo? Although dapat talaga ay walang nagpapark sa kalsada. Para sa akin, as long na hindi siya nakaharang sa taapt ng gate nyo eh ok lang yan, dahil pareho naman kayong walang karapatang magpark dyan eh. So parang magiging unahan lang kayo sa parking space. Hindi rin pwede yang ginawa mong lagyan ng yellow stripe na may semento.

Ang pinakamagandang gawin dyan ay gawin mong driveway yang buong pader nyo, dahil BAWAL magpark sa tapat ng driveway, pwede mo siyang ipa-tow kung ganun...

Magpark ka nalang sa loob ng garahe mo tapos bili ka ng watergun at brake fluid para makagante ka. Honestly, yan ang ginagawa ko twing may nagpapark sa tapat ng gate namin, yung mga bisita ng kapitbahay namin. Ako lage ako nagpapark sa loob ng garahe at ginastusan ko talaga para magkagarahe tapos magpapark sa tapat ng gate ko...Ayun brake fluid lang ang katapat ng ganyan at night...hEhEhE
