I had a sticker (8x8inches) on my car and someone removed it next to a razor blade (long story...). I have a 2004 Xterra next to black paint. How much might it cost to get it fixed? The paint was stripped down to the steel contained by one 1inch section. Other than that it is lightly scraped, nil too bad, but the car be in otherwise good condition.
i do believe some dealerships have a warranty on the paint work for a certain amount of miles, but youll have to check. but yeah it sounds fairly bad. its really much more trouble than its worth to fix that kinda stuff. but the procedure would be to sand down the area to the metal, prime it, and paint it. or u could only just use touch up paint. but anyways itll be into the hundreds of dollars to fix. best case scenario at a small shop- 150 bucks
worst case scenario - 500
I would say-so some where around $200-$300. Take it to a body shop and they will generally afford a free estimate. Or you can try to do it yourself, with some touch up paint for the one inch area. and some polishing compound for the rest of it. Or the easiest process. get another sticker once you touch up the stripped area..
Answers: sounds close to you've got a doozie. the problem with it one to bare metal is that all corrosion inhibitors hold been removed, and it will start to rust rather without delay. som people have suggested to lately use touch up paint, but DO NOT do that. the metal will continue to rust underneath the paint and you will end up next to a much bigger problem. sanding it yourself and using some sort of spot primer also will not solve the problem because primers aren't intended to stick to bare metal, and primer also provides minimal corrosion protection. if the spot rusts and nil is done to fix it properly, the small bare metal area will turn into a significant rust hole (yes, hole) in a matter of months. it sounds approaching a pretty nice vehicle, and if you trully want it restored back to it's original finish, lug it to a body shop and have it repaired. if you want to tackle the project yourself and to a moral job, here's what you should do:
1. sand the bare metal and the surrounding nouns with 220 to 320 grit sandpaper flat using a block of wood until the area is completely "feathered out"
2. apply some type of automotive rust inhibitor to be exact safe to be painted. i suggest sikkens brand washprimer CR in 1 scraggy even coat over the bare metal.
3. apply a high build primer over the entire are that be sanded. these are availabe in aeresol can. apply 2-4 wet coats in 5 minute intervals and consent to it dry for 3-5 hours depending on temperature.
4. sand the primer with 500-600 grit sandpaper using indistinguishable block technique in step 1 until the rpimer is smooth and level near the rest of the body panel.
5. sand the entire body panel with 1000 grit sandpaper using a dual action sander. or use a gray scotch-brite automotive paint prep wad.
now it starts to get tricky.
6. find a paint booth and a HVLP paint spray gun. moral luck.
7. mix your paint and apply it in 3 even closed coats over the repair and blend it out on the final coat.
8. mix and sparay 2 even coats of clear coat over the entire panel and allow to dry overnight.
this is most likely impossible for you, but it's the one and only way to truly repair the panel back to it's inventive condition with no risk of the spot rusting out. bare metal = rust, no issue what, unless properly repaired. i reccomend you spent the cash to have it fixed at a body shop.

Take it to a body shop and have it looked at. If it was on the bumper or tailgate most of the time they can simply paint that part of the care and it wont be too expensive. If you are looking to fix delicately sand with wet sand quality newspaper till you have made the area smooth again procure some black primer and then the paint to match. It might not be the prettiest paint living but at least it will be protected from rusting. Also dont just jump to one body shop get a few estimates it will be worth the time to investigate some prices. if its newly a bumper than u would just have to gain the bumper repainted... try a local maaco
