Cheap way to fix deep car scratch
Hi
I have a deep scratch on my car (looks to be down to the metal in one place). It is on both the driver door and the back panel. At this moment in time, I can't really afford to get it resprayed (as I'm probably looking at 2 panels needing respraying). I'm not really bothered about the scratch on the car, am more concerned with it going rusty or causing further problems. Is there anything I can do to protect the car that isn't going to cost a fortune?
Thanks in advance
John

£6/7 touch up pen from the dealer will cover the scratch with the correct colour, and come with the laquer coat if required too. A bit fiddly to do proffessionaly, but you can get it looking better & protected.:A Luke 6:38 :AThe above post is either from personal experience or is my opinion based on the person God has made me and the way I understand things.

I agree a touch up pen, Dont try and do it on one go though. Add a tiny bit every day or so.
If the weather holds off. Build the paint up slowly.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Thanks for that - I might have to try that myself, due to a runaway shopping trolley scratching the bonnet of my car yesterday!
