Default The wife scratched her car! Good paint Guy?

Well she scratched her car (06 Passat) silver at that, this is gonna cost a mint to get fixed. Are there any good paint guys local? I'll put a few shots up because it's hard to see.

I would start with a little polishing compound, don't press to hard or use over 700 rpm.

Is that an after market hood? I haven't seen any like that before!
Sort of a scooped ram air action going on there!

I got that off the ricer web site it forces the air directly to the turbo to cool it down.

Is that the new high powered Turbo intake in the middle of the grille?


Go to the dealer and get a small aerosol can of matching paint and massage out the hood..... That sucks, I'm glad Beth is OK.

I see a scratch on the hood too, might want to get it painted as well. Unless you can polish it out.
