first, learn how to back up! second, learn how to back up! you gotta be careful! i hate to see my fellow solara owners get hurt like this. especially if its preventable, please be more careful. as for fixing...i think touch up paint for the first one, cuz its so deep. and for the rubber ones, if it is rubber, it should come off.... i hope. good luck. how'd the rubber rip?

1st, touch up those scratches! that will prevent further oxidation (rust).
and make it looks better.

The key of good touch up is: make the paint as thin as you can.
I add some paint thinner to the touch up paint and cut the brush diagonally to sharpen the brush.

2nd, be careful next time. Gotta learn from experience ya know... :wink:
