that’s not a $50 fix, more like a $500 fix even for a half assed body shop.

the deal is that you can remove all the white and black color that’s embedded in the paint just by using a clay bar, compound, and paint cleaner. this will make it look a lot better from a distance? after that you’ll be able to see how deep the scars are and if you’ll be getting a lot of rust soon or not.

i know it’s not a legit fix for 50 bucks. I told him 1000 on the cheap at a bodyshop. He just wants someone to buff it and shit.

If all he’s offering is $50 he’s better off just trying to fix it himself. Buff the shit out of it with something agressive to get the house paint off, pound out the dents with what ever you can jam in behind the fender, then hit it with a can of autozone rattle can clear to keep it from rusting.

You don’t fix big fuckups like that with good results for $50.
