Advice on this scratch....

ECBMW · 02-09-2008, 10:24 AM

Not sure how it got there but i bought the car's touch paint and its not done a mega lot, but since, ive used t-cut, scratch removers on the scratch to at least blend it in and its not done a brilliant job but ok-ish

. Anyone got any ideas to help this sucker?

Get it done by the pros.

It will never look perfect doing it yourself and every time you wash your car or open your boot you will see it and it will drive you mad.

Go to one of those dent / scratch places or a body shop. they should be able to get it looking good as new for not too much ££

To make that scratch un-noticeable, it needs to be sprayed.

You could improve it through a Wet sanding method, but to make it invisible, it needs professional attention.

Do you have an emergency latch, or handle hanging off your garage door? Maybe you opened it up and it hit the handle

Hard to tell from the photo, but it does look quite deep. I think a bodyshop is probably the answer or wet sanding as quattrogmbh says.
