Scudded By Garbage Truck-paint Chips

[stoneweed1]

driving up the highway to work this afternoon when a garbage truck 30-40 feet ahead of me just spilled out a huge load of rocks/dirt onto the road.....my relatively new vehicle took a huge load of the rocks and i knew i was struck relatively hard by these rocks. Tonight i examined the damage........NUMEROUS (more than 50) small paint chips on the hood/front bumper......unbelievable!!!!!! I didn`t have any (well...maybe one or two really really small ones) prior to today. i am disgusted....it looks horrible.



any advice?.....i`ve comtemplated 3M invicishield but after numerous posts, i decided against it.



i`m going to call the garbage company, but i doubt they`ll do anything - didn`t a plate # cuz i was behind it and immediately slowed down. on my black car, the paint chips look horrible

Pursue the garbage company and they may have their insurance pick up your damage. Got a friend who is an attorney??



Good luck:xyxthumbs

I too have a black daily driver. Sixty mile round trip to work and back every day. My front bumper and the hood have taken some abuse. Anything we can do short of re-painting?

Langa has gotten several negative reviews here, so I`d suggest doing a search on it: meaning, look before you leap.



As far as harassing the garbage hauling company, consider this: Tony Soprano works in "waste management."

Talk to your insurance, they can cut you a nice check if you want to get your car re-sprayed.

Gentlemen (and Ladies) the link is www.Langka.com.

I have not tried the stuff but read several reviews. I would be curious to try it.

after touching up with langka or a pen, would it be wise to put a stonguard 3M clear bra on it?

[stoneweed1]

estimate to repaint the hood and the bumper - $1100.00, i am considering it and then immediately putting some stonguard 3M invicishield on it

I am getting a 3M clear bra from RockBlocker.com. They have great prices on their kits
