Paint question

Well the 330 got another large ding in it today. My brother was driving it and he hit a shopping cart ... So, there's a nice big gouge in the front fender. The question I have though is why underneath the paint it's blue. It was really deep and it went down to a layer of blue. What is that? I'm assuming it's normal, but it's the same panel that I had replaced a few months ago. Is it normal paint or is it like Bondo or something?

CJ: No clue on the paint ding, but I think your brother is on to something not wanting the M3, X5, et al, : a good used 4WD Chebby Truck, for camping, scraping through the pines,etc. may be his deal. Lol!

We actually went truck shopping today... We were on our way there and we stopped at Target and that's where the incident happened. More bad news from today is that my brother is going to get a Tacoma... It ruined my whole day getting that news.

That Tacoma sounds like it's right in the fairway for your ol'bro.

The Tacoma is an awesome truck. Great 4WD vehicle. I used to have one

But it's ugly and underpowered! No burnouts! That's why I wanted a Ram 5.7 Hemi!
