Tesla'ed in a Parking Mishap

What did you do with the muffler? Sand and polish it out?

I replaced the muffler from my spare parts inventory with a new muffler.

I am going to spot sand the muffler I removed with incredibly fine sandpaper, touch up the scratches with primer and some "chrome" paint using a fine brush, buff it, apply two coats of ceramic coating, add a top coat, and return it to inventory. The integrity and shape of the muffler remains intact--the only true muffler damage is to the chrome.

Because the event was much like a motorcycle falling in a garage rather than a motorcycle sliding down the road, the scratches were hard to detect unless you were "looking" for a scratch. That said, I fixated on it every time I walked toward the motorcycle. It had to go.
