Bumped that I damaged our car..
Scratched my brand new Hyundai Tucson... How bad does this look and can it be repaired?
I had a really long day at work and made a stupid mistake.
To get into the courtyard of my apartment building, I have to drive through a very narrow passage. I managed to clip a large flower pot that sits right at the exit of the passage.
The result is this long scratch on the front right fender of my brand new Tucson (photos attached).
There doesn't seem to be any dent, just the long white scratch.
Do you think this is mostly paint transfer that could be polished out, or does it look like it went through the clear coat/paint?
Would a detailer be able to fix most of it, or am I looking at repainting the whole panel?
I'd really appreciate your opinions. I'm pretty upset because the car is basically new.
