porvette Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The Corvette was keyed while parked at Costco on friday. The scratch is about 9 inchs on the rear panel waist high, it is not very deap , what is the best to do? the car has opti coat on it. I was told by the person parked next to me that a couple did it because a Corvette should not be parked in a Handicaped space even though I had my card displayed.

TheCMSH Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I bet Costco has video surveillance on that lot, be nice if there was a license plate number you could turn over to PD. Some folks are just pricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Man I hate when people do that. Someone did it to mine too just after I bought it. It was parked in a Walmart lot in Nebraska clear out in the middle of nowhere even. Good luck with your fix. Hopefully it will buff out for ya. Will have to reapply the opticoat I'm sure.

Desertdawg Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Just damn! A picture would help. Is it thru the color??? We can always sand and buff if it's not deep, if it's thru the color then you may need it touched up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadC Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 rule of thumb. can you feel it with your fingernail? if yes. its too deep to repair and will require paint/touch up. mask, reduce with polishing = yes. repair = no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The flexible rear bumpers are a bitch to buff out scratches. It's probably not good news if your fingernail catches on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porvette Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yes the finger nail catchs on it, it is on the fender not the rear bumber. Guess I will have to get it fixed by a paint shop. Just another expense that should not be neccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 We can always try the sand and buff before you take it to the paint shop... As long as the primer isn't showing, I can probably hide 90% of it or more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDAGRUV Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 From your profile, it looks like you live in my area, and I offer my services, free of charge, to eliminate your scratches. I am what I would consider to be "an expert" on paint repairs, etc. I always drive my show cars (when I could afford to have one), snow, rain, etc., made no matter. Six weeks before each show (Grand National Roadster Show, NOT local cruise-ins),, I would wash my car & back it into the garage. For the next six weeks I thoroughly detailed the car and repaired any chip or paint blemish. The results were that my car ALWAYS took First Place in it's class, at each of the National caliber shows it entered. NOT "bragging" - just want you to know that I'm experienced in paint repair. It is pleasing "work" to do, so if you're interested (or anyone else), please PM me & we'll set things up. God BLESS!! Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porvette Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks for all of the offers I am presently trying to decide what to do. After this week I hope to be able to decide. We are going to go to the lunch Saturday so if any of you are there you can see the scratch. Deb will be on a every other week at the hospital and thren I will have some free time, after next week.

Mregor Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 What I don't get is this part. I was told by the person parked next to me that a couple did it because a Corvette should not be parked in a Handicaped space even though I had my card displayed. So this person saw the whole thing and did nothing? Get plate number? Say nothing to the perpetrator? Try to stop them? Maybe they were the real ones and just blamed it on someone else. If I saw something even if I was too late to stop, I'd get description and pics of the ones responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
