Default non driving *%$#'s !

Long story short lady drags her suburban across front of my camaro..
got whole new front and painted. I had it back about a month and someone
does it again yesterday...non driving bastards!!

Didn't catch the culprit this time though...hit&run...Damage not as bad as
the last time though...nothing is cracked just the new paint peeling.

It's peeling on the bottom side with a good scuff by the front turn signal.
I was thinking maybe some mesh fabric and resin to keep the paint from
chipping any more and just taping off that section and spraying it.

Already have paint and clearcoat....anyone with this experience?...suggestions?

Newark, Delaware ...careful where you park.

Yeah..Dude that should work out ok ,if you carefully cut the mesh and mix the resin
and cover the mesh thoroughly.

After it dries sand it until it looks good ,prime it, paint it, and clear coat it and your
good to go!

Usually get a decent answer here at the Tech...off work today and had to
get-r done or at least get it started. I had some experience with fiberglass
repair in the past so I just did it..and It's looking pretty good so far.Basically
was fishing to see if anyone else had done this type of thing..as I'm not waiting for a bodyshop to replace the whole front again.

The whole answering my own question thing was just a bit of sarcasm.
