Scraped the bottom of my new car coming out of a steep driveway. You can't see it cos its underneath but its just that i know that its there and its pissing me off. Should I get it repainted or is it not worth it? I'm a bit of a perfectionist..

Why would it be worth it if you can't see it? Unless you're going to sell/trade it soon just leave it.

Don't get it repaired.
If your that worried about it, and its only a scratch go to a local spraypainter/panel beater and ask them to make up some paint to match the car and pay them, and do it yourself.

even if you are a perfectionist or semi obsessive compulsive, try not to worry about it. it'll probably happen again and its not too bad because its not visible. relaxxxxx :eek:

If you can't see it you'll forget about it.

what feels worse than scratching the bottom of your car is when you recently fixed it and scratched it again.
do not repair it. pretty much every car has the scratches there!

scratch it more, make the whole underside black. It"ll match the underbody nicely.

lol, I think I would be pissed if I scratched the bottom of my car. yeah even though its not seen, I still know its there, and I wouldnt like a single scratch on my car, or at least know about it. but even though I would have the shits I wouldnt get it repaired for a while, just in case, But knowing me i would go get it repaired anyway cause it would not feel the same to me. I dont car how my car looks and feels to others, its my car i should be happy with it...^_^ lol

your going to scratch it again, theres no point. especially if its a driveway that you frequent and cant get the hang of going on an angle.

out of sight out of mind.

fix it when it comes time to selling it if your that worried, but reality is almost every car will have scratches underneath.
