Can't believe what I just did, somehow totally misjudged turning in my drive way to turn around and truck met fence on the rear passenger side. Thank goodness for the fender flares as it took the most damage. I see few faint scratches in the paint but running my fingernail over them only 1 actually felt deep, the others all seem like they should buff out. The fender flare took a little more of a beating. Scratched, a big gouge, and the inner got roughed up.

As soon as it happened I felt like a total @$$ :flipthebird:. Of course the truck is black forest green so it's a tough color to find as well. Going to order a touchup pen and see how well it hides the damage on the fender. Doubt I'll have much luck finding just one rear flare so for the time being don't think I'll bother replacing it.

:(

For sure Rzrman, I heard it and immediately put the truck in park and looked. Knocked the end cap off the foot step, took me a minute to even realize it was from that. Then noticed the gouge and thought "Okay, that's it, not bad"... then looked closer and noticed the scratches. Oh well, wouldn't be a proper truck if it was always in pristine condition... even if it's only been off the dealer lot for 30 days haha.

^^^^^ Yes I have. It matched better than the touch up available at the dealer. I don't recommend things that I haven't used or haven't gotten a good recommendation from someone I trust. Thanks for asking.

:roflsquared: Funny thing is, as I was typing that I was looking at your signature picture thinking damn that is such a good looking truck. I'm thinking I may get a full detail and ceramic coating this spring anyways since the truck is brand new.

There is a good thread about coatings in the Detail section.
