Q5 Micropaint Repair
So a while back I said that I would take some pics on the Q5, but alas, the day I planned on doing this my wife took the Q to work and came home with a scrape on rear bumper. Bad enough that we got the scrape, worst that the culprit didn't even leave a note! Grrr...
Anyway, my friend had a pretty good experience with Micropaint repair, so I just had it dropped off this morning. I should have taken some pics for before and after, but I didn't think about it until now.
It's a lot cheaper than a full respray, and I hope that it comes back unnoticeable. I will certainly share my experiences with you afterwards.
And to the person who scrape my Q5, I believe in karma and as the saying goes, "Karma's a B**ch!"

Re: Q5 Micropaint Repair
I know! I barely have 15k on the odometer. Anyway, I got it back, it looks great. It's not perfect, but I'll live.
I truly recommend going this route, because it is a lot less expensive. The only other thing that annoys me right now is that the interior smells like paint.
I hope it airs out in a few days.

Re: Q5 Micropaint Repair
Agreed. We worked hard to get what we have...
Anyway, here are a couple of pics.
I should have taken the before pics but as you can see the scrapes are practically gone except that the reflective lens was damaged as well. I haven't looked into the replacement cost, but for now I am just going to silicone the crack so water doesn't get in.
Car is a little dirty, but I was told not to wash the car for a week.
