Gees.... was it rolled on its side or something??? Looks like its got alot of bondo up there on the roof...

I got one for you. should make you feel a little better. Long story short I got 2 Gallons of new paint with the draker variation for my truck. I set it down when I was working on my truck and forgot to move it.... You guessed it, I backed right over both Gallons.... BTW I use the most expensive stuff.

ANy way, Ya it sucks that they did that but hey at least your getting to fix up the way you want.

I think there's a pretty good possibility that it was rolled on it's side because the drivers side doors and roof have a lot of bondo on them, but the passenger side looks pretty clean. The guy I bought it from mentioned it being driven under a low overhang at some point, but I don't think it would have caused that kind of damage to the roof, and especially the doors. I'm going to go ahead and shave the roof rack while it's being fixed, so I guess that's one cool thing.
That sucks about your paint. That's a lot of money to coat your driveway! Sorry to hear about that man.

Ya in both of our cases it sucks, but All we can do is move forward. Every day I have to see that wonderfull Blue stain and tire track down the driveway.... Ya my cost with a discount was like $850 for the 2 gallons of Base coat.

More pictures of the carnage. This is what happens when you let an idiot loose with an old school dent puller. I don't even get mad anymore; what's the point? At least it's all being fixed...

The good thing is that the finished product will look killer without the roof rack
