Truck should be ready Friday. Including running boards, head lights, wheel and centre cap damage, over 10 grand Cdn, or approx $23 USD. Lol. The canopy work was my mechs, great idea just dumping it on a concrete floor, it will never get damaged that way. Lol.

I missed it - what happened?

Is yours the Tri-coat paint? Hard to tell from the pics.

My truck got hit this past May, saw the whole fender fold up and flop around in the mirror.
Took the hit pretty good. Body shop gave me an estimate for $589 to R&R and paint.

I spent 20 minutes with a orbital polisher and some stuff and it came out 99%
Just have on small spot on the edge with no paint.

RV had almost $6000 in damage though.........

The truck was hauled from Alberta, dealer trade, the guy who towed it out tarped it......15 hours of wet sand and salt. Messed up the bumper, end caps, hood, front flares, doors, rear cab corners, roof, headlamps, running boards, front wheels and center caps. It's a tri coats, kinda hard to see, which is why I do the white color in all the trucks. No scratches no waxing no water spots.

That is some damage you has there, I don't know that I would have taken it.

My truck was 5 years old last month, was waxed for the first time last June

Th Tri coat looks good all the time, clean or dirty.
