well its covered if you have the truck on a bank note. if it is paid in full then it might not be. depending on your insurance company. if it is just a light scrape they might be able to buff out. if it is too deep, then off to the body shop. have to have it fixed or the exposed spots might start to rust

It's about two feet long... my truck is a leased vehicle. Is this waht you meant by bank note?

It's not buffable.... unless they can slide paint over. It's to the primer.

Frenchy you will be amazed how a professional shop can blend paint. I damm near fell out of my chair when you said you leased your truck!!!!!! With all the stuff you have done to it you will be charged big time, didnt you throw out all the rear seat stuff? Isnt the frame bent up? I hope you are planning on buying it at the end of your lease. Anyway I've seen shops air brush paing in scratched with great results. I had stone chips fixed on my BMW by air brushing and it looked great, way cheaper than a strip and paint......

Ya, first off I am buying it at the end. Payments were like 70 a month less leasing.

I have a friend who owns a body shop. I'm gonna see what he can do.

Generally its covered by your insurance (with a lweased vehicle you probably have full coverage). Depending on your insurer, you may have to pay a deductible. Call your agent.

First I would go to a body shop and see if it could be buffed out and leave the insurance company out of it if at all possible.
