I really wish that i could go with you guys on the drive, but im not going to be able to as with my car being recently keyed with profanity, Im currently trying to find a cheap place that does a great job to paint my car and help get the words off. its in 3 different spots and is keyed pretty deep that buffing it with wax wont work. any body have any ideas or could help that would be great!
I'm planning to make the meet. However, if my guest can't go. Your welcome to catch a ride with me. I could use a navigator to work the radio while I'm driving. I'll know here soon.
That would be cool, where do you live? how old are you? Female or Male?

Ok, Now this really sucks, im defintly not going to be able to go on the drive because its the same day as my grandmas 92nd birthday party. This so sucks, i was so looking forward to going and now i cant.
I know play boi, but i just started writing I was in a hurry and wasnt thinkin that lol, Im just trying to figure out how to fix my car thats all. But thank you anyway!
if you dont mind me asking...but is your grandma's birthday thing going to be for the whole day? Cause considering that it'll be a meet and a drive, i dont think its going to be a 5 hour ordeal lol.
I was going to suggest sanding out the grafitti and spraying some primer paint. I figure primer would have to look better than profanity.
BabyGirl,
Sorry you'll be missing this one! I just did a pre-run last night and it was really fun!! I pre-ran it in my Miata and the weather even cooperated long enough so that I could have the top down!! Woo-Hoo!!!!
Those are all great sugestions, I thought about the primer or deal but i Dont have a place to do it at, and with the weather the way its been its hard to just do it outside. I also thought about doing both the run and my grandmas party since that im gonna be in buckley, but it looks like im not going to be able to, its with the stuck up rich side of the family and if i dont show up on time or stay the whole time, ill never hear the end of it. Im just gonna have to tell everyone im busy on the day of the next run. which will hopefully be soon. but I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who are willing to help me with ideas it means a lot.
You might try an automotive paint store to see if they have a colored wax that you can use to fill in the scratches. That or a small bottle of touch up paint of if the scratch didn't go to bare metal would be good.
ive tried that and my neighbor that always works on cars even tried to help me and he use to detail cars professionally and he even said the scratches was to deep so thats why i was asking for some suggestions, the only other reason why i cant use touch up paint is because my car is like 4 different shades of red! it sucks!
So, who would notice a fifth shade of red. Or, you could try changing the letters with your own scratches so they are no longer profane.
Just trying to help. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
now see i thought of that but see using the pen touch paint, would just make the scrathes notice able. ecspecially if its not the right color, lol, I was thinking bout scratching my self to try to change it but thats just a little to hard with the way its written. I hate people, i mean if you gotta a problem with me why not take it out on me , why do it to my car, my car didnt do anything wrong lol. Well I hope you all have fun on the run today, I really wish I was able to make it but family comes first in this house, and if your not at a family function then youll never hear the end of it, but i do want to thank everyone, for trying to help me its greatly appreciated!
Hey everyone I just got back.
Anyway babygrl83, I'm in your area and I can take a look at it and help a bit hopefully to give some advice on how best to fix the problem. Email or PM me if you want so we can setup a time to get together, so I can see the damage first hand. It will have to be in the evening or most anytime on the weekends.
From the sounds of it just painting over them won't do it if they are deep scratches, but let me take a look first.

Welcome back Geo....you woulda had fun at the meet today. Me, Ann and one of the Miata's got seperated from the pack early on in the run back caught up with them once we figured out where we missed a turn so I'm not sure what we missed in the beginning.....
But the second half of the run was very much like the Maltby fun run. I'm pretty sure we went on some of the same twisty, windy hills. I gained a new respect for the Miata's. I always figured they were little "wind-up" toy cars but in some spots I found it a challenge to keep up.
Hopefully we can have more mixed meets like this one.
I might be off on the numbers but I think there was 6 Miata's and 4 Del Sol's....Arron, Playboi, Dusty and myself.
