Respect goes a long way.
Had he left a note or looked for me in the restaurant I probably would have let it go.

That’s what I don’t get. If this moron knew he hit your car, why the hell didn’t he move? Maybe he felt guilty and knew you would come looking for him. He did pay up so I’ll give him that.

There is a possibility he didn't know his kid hit my car. He was sitting at a table where he could see our cars. I'm sure he saw me looking at the damage and at his car.

Now that I'm past it I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Local body shop says 200. I might try that chip fix thing.

He did a good thing though and gave you some money to take care of it. 👍🏻

I went to a restaurant today off hours. The parking lot was empty. I parked and went to eat. As I was leaving a party of 4 entered. When I got outside I see this silver POS parked 2 feet from my drivers door. So I looked for chips in my paint. Sure enough my door handle has a chip out of it, no note on my windshield.

I saw red. Went inside and confronted the inconsiderate a hole. He didn't admit to anyone opening the door and hitting my car but didn't deny it either. I gave hin 2 choices I call the police and file an insurance claim or he gives me 100 dollars. He gave up the cash quick.

I don't know if 100 will fix this or not.

His excuse for parking so close to me was a PU was in the other spot and crowding the line. I looked out the window and said What about the 300 other spots you could park.

I was not in the very front either, there were plenty of spaces closer to the door.

Water spots are due to wet roads.

Looking at that pic, how many times did he open and close his door into yours - because that looks like multiple hits.

The gap was so narrow, and these were not skinny people, I can believe the door was left touching my car while they got out. I'm sure it got rubbed.

just buy the ford touch up pen with your color, cost 25 bucks. I personally avoid confrontation unless its massive, like my car was rammed into

That sucks OP.
Some people are just shit. I don't know if it's jealousy or just stupidity/carelessness. Either way, it sucks.
Good luck man.

first month I had car, I had window cracked, I came out from store, someone tossed a can of chew in my car, and spit dip in my car, and it even rolled down my window, and was on my seat.

I was so mad, such trash. but they didn't key my car, so no big deal. fortunately came out just fine w cleaner.

People like this are why I have a 20 year old beater for errands. Such inconsiderate trash. Ive had good luck with the Motorcraft paint pen for rock chips though. As long as you aren't foolish enough to use the brush, it is easy and the match is perfect.

I use a needle from a sewing kit, I touch the paint with the needle and I dab it into the crack or spot, and I move it around. then clear idc so much about, I put a larger bump of it than I need, it will cure, and shrink, then I use a polish and polish it smooth, it removes any excess outside the circle.

Thats the correct way, yes. I'm lazy so I use the pen tip and press lightly, a drop will come out and fill the chip. Then that's it. I don't care to come back and layer, clear coat, polish or any of that. If I did I'd go mad. The paint on these cars I horrible and chips if you look at it wrong, and the highways are brutal. We have some quarries and the truck drivers that drive around full of rocks and sand are always dropping shit everywhere. Oh, and they drive at like 85-90 in the left two lanes so you can't even pass them a lot of times.

too bad you aren't near, give me some food and sodas and id go to town. I enjoyed running around touching up all my chips, I let the clear dry for 24 hours before I went over with a polishing compound and microfiber. then I forget all about ever having them. lol

That’s messed up. Not sure how you feel about door handle covers, but they make them in gloss black and carbon fiber. Pricing ranges from $25-$55.
Because of the general degradation in society that we are all privileged to see happen right before our eyes, this is becoming more common as the days go by. People just don’t care at all. In a crowded lot, I try to find other mustangs. We generally are more careful.
