Went to my folks house to pick up my 14 to take it to the garage for a little engine work and when I turn up after taking the cover off i notice this:-

It would seem my fathers trailer wasnt properly secured and rolled in the high winds, the hitching point hitting the side of the car.

What a C#*T (the incident, not my father). Talk about a downer.

I wonder if its cellulose paint as I would expect 2pack to flex more rather than chip off?

Its cellulose. Lukily I was given half a tin of the stuff in the cars colour.

The lip of the hitching point is almost chisel shaped so it cut the paint and moved down while trailer was rolling.

The dent is quite deep and has mishapen the wing over the top. Not sure if its a simple buff out.

Yup it is all steel. Thats grey primer over it.

On the plus side when its in the body shop I can get Por15 on the underside.

That sounds like a nasty bash then. (the 'buff out' comment was tongue in cheek )

Good that you have some correct paint though.
I'd be livid if that happed to my new paint.
