Angry Paint Chip! HELP!!

ok guys, here's the deal... i was parked the other day and some lady pulls beside of me, she opens her door and slams it right into my new F150! i can now see where it chipped the paint pretty bad, and left a pretty deep indentation.. now what should i do? try and touch it up with touch up paint and chance it being a different color or just leave it as is? the chip isn't that big, but i can notice it pretty well.. it's located on the right door, near the bottom just above the second color of paint...

Have it repaired by a professional. You will always notice that damage until you get it fixed---and make her pay for it. If you let one dent go then a month or so later there will be another and another until soon it will not matter, because the trucks will look like junk.

One time a guy opened his door into my old truck and he mysteriously went missing

-- Sticker suction cupped to read wdw. "Is there life after death? Mess with my truck and you'll find out." --

I also agree with Budda get it done professionally or else the paint my not match or flake off... Make her pay too or at lease 1/2 of it.

Hey 2dollar,

Get it fixed by a pro.They can match paint pretty good these days.You won't even be able to tell.And hand the truck basher the bill.People have to learn to respect other peoples property,and they wont learn if they get away without paying.***S***.Have you ever seen the bumper sticker"Beware of Owner"
