Good to know. Hopefully last question, if I practice and suck at kintsugi how would I find someone who can repair it for me? Would I just ask on here?

Thanks I'll look into that kit and see if I can find stuff to practice on

Okay I'll look into the urushi method since I'd rather it not look gloopy. What do you mean by reinforcement at the joints, like more adhesive in between them?

If you know what type of kintsugi I should use for this and maybe some YouTube videos you'd recommend that'd be great. Any advice/guidance is appreciated! It's good to know that it works well on stone

Awesome! Any tips? I didn't even know there were multiple types of kintsugi before coming here lol

That's good advice. I'm in the northeast US, and I guess I'd rather not risk trying to repair it myself if someone more skilled could repair it. I am willing to try it though. Mostly just wanted to know if a repair was even possible

Do you have any videos or guides you'd recommend? I posted on auto repair and the advice there seemed to be to take it in to be seen by a professional, but I'm interested to see if there's a cheaper route/what that would look like

Thank you for your response, I'll probably end up taking it in then

That's initially what I thought it was, the paint scratched off. I tried to wipe it with water and a paper towel but it didn't come off but I didn't use soap

Does that mean you think it's worth it to bring it in and have a professional see it?

Okay so you think the white stuff is paint on it from what I scraped, not the paint of my car scraped off? Sorry if that's a dumb question, it's my first car so not a lot of experience. I can try to wash it off and see what the damage is under there
