Acura Integra LS...? Well I had a friend that drove my car and hit a deer up in the mountains, and I doubt he's ever going to help me fix it up.
The details of the damage is that the deer hit the passenger side of the fender, tore off the emblem off of my non-OEM front bumper, and the impact also caused my hood to crack. I don't think my hood is bent, but if it is I guess I could always swap one from a junkyard or something.
Anyway I know I have to get some special kind of sandpaper to get rid of the original paint. The real question here is how do I find the matching color paint? I don't want to repaint my WHOLE car (sanding down the whole car would be a pain in the ass) I heard that you need the right color and hue, or else the paint will look different in varying places. I'm planning on repainting the replaced passenger side fender, the whole hood, and the front bumper (possibly replaced as well).
Passenger side headlight is damaged, and they've always been "fogged-up" by some yellow residue and it's kinda nasty. The vehicle has apparently been in a minor accident (something that wasn't written in carfax NOR told by the auto broker) and there are two metal arcs that are broken. I would think that those are the control arms for adjusting the angle of the headlights. Please, correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully I am). Aside from the passenger side headlight pointing downwards to the point that I can't see anything on my right side during the night, I also want to clear up my headlights by cleaning off that yellow stuff from the inside. Do I have to take apart the headlights for that?
Also, does anyone know a good place that sells OEM bumpers and fenders for cheap?
Finally, does anyone know what I can do about the dents on my car? And is buffing out scratches on the body possible?
Nevermind, the hood IS bent a little bit with the front tip having cracked paint.
