Scraped my right skirt. Help??
I distractedly drove over a curb today and scraped up my right skirt. I’m so mad at myself. What can I do to fix it? The scrapes are deep so will probably require some sanding down first. Please, any help would be appreciated!
I’ve attached a picture of the damage |

Sanded, bondo'd, painted. Or outright replaced and painted. Or replaced with one from a scrap yard in good shape that's already painted.
Find a local body shop (or shops plural to get more than one quote). Probably skip insurance. Others would know better the cost. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a grand or so. I'd probably DIY it if it was any more than that. But I've been tinkering with cars for like 40 years now and think I could pull it off especially on a part so low to the ground. |

Looks deep, recommend let a body shop handle it.

That'd make me sick. I bet your stomach dropped the moment you heard it happening.

I'd try to DIY it since it's down so low and facing downward. If you do even a half decent job in that spot then it will never be noticeable. If you make a mess of it then just take it to a body shop.
That's just my opinion, but I love trying new DIY stuff and learning. YMMV |

Scrap the other one for symmetry. Problem solved. You're welcome.
