This was shared on group yesterday when a member backed up to a concrete pillar in a parking garage. Cameras were dusted with salt and proximity sensors disabled.
He says he won't be going through insurance, so he plans on going through more inexpensive methods. Lucky for him, he was able to find a mobile PDR guy willing to take the job. He pulled it out to about 70%. Something he now has to live with and I'm sure he has come to terms with.
Paint wise it’s down to bare metal aluminum. I think aluminum doesn’t rust, so maybe he could just paint over the scratches? Rivian touch up pen has clear coat, but no primer. Or probably might be better to get a kit with primer, base coat, and clear coat?
I advised him to check online as I don’t have experience with sanding/rotary, and also not to do anything himself that he's not sure of in order to not make it worse.
