Just a follow-up:

I just had spectacular luck at a place called "Bridgewater Auto Body" in Bridgewater, NJ. After my car rolled down my parents' driveway (I set the parking brake but didn't have the car in gear- d'oh!), I had a foot-long scratch in the passenger door, leading to a nice divot in the rear quarter-panel. The paint match, after they banged out the divot, was flawless. Nobody has been able to identify where the new paint starts or ends.


BTW, if I were contemplating a color change, I'd go for Rosso Scuderia. Sure, it's not a Honda color, but man, once you've seen a Stradale, or an Enzo, or an F2004 in that color (in person), it's just amazing. I think it would fit the countours and edges of the S2000 quite well.

 

and what color is that? silver or what.... the Rosso?? I found some other colors I like a lot that are similiar to the BMW color.. I went to BMW to check out the color in person and it wasn't as dark as I was wanting or as much metallic

 

I'm getting ready to have the same problem with matching the paint.

Here's the shortened version:

When I was backing the car out yesterday, I hit the corner of the garage and ended up scraping the paint on the side of rear bumper just behind the rear passenger side tire.

First, I cussed. Then screamed and cussed some more. But anyways, I tried to buff out most of the damage but I'm still left with a spot about the size of a quarter where the paint was taken off down to the plastic and the surrounding area is heavily scratched.

So, I'm trying to see if it's possible to just repaint the damaged area and blend it with the rest of the bumper.

 

After my brother wrecked mine, and someone else keyed the car, there were like two body panels that hadn't been repainted. The car looked better than it did new, in m opinion of course. I just wish I wasn't an idiot and kept the car.

 

This looks bright enough to be Rosso Scuderia (as opposed to Rosso Corsa, the more traditional Italian racing red associated with Ferraris). It has a lot more orange in it, but isn't actually "orange" like "Imola Orange":
