Yup you've guessed it. Wifey was reversing and hit a metal post.

Luckily she hit it lightly and just some white scratch's.

She reckons she was miles away from the post!

Ah yes, you also have a wife who complains that the parking sensors "always beep" and therefore ignores them? :)

You can get used to them, however I missed having some on the digger I had on hire today........well it's not like it was a brand new digger and they will see the new paint all scratched or anything.  :whistle:

Mums the word.

Unlucky but by the sounds of it not too badly damaged, etc.

Will it need respraying or are the marks on top of the lacquer?

Hi Raj

Luckily just some white scratches.

There is some lacquer that has come off. Going to try chipex.

Has anyone tried this before?
