Hi Guys,

So another car got scratched thread, sorry about this. Anyway here's the picture of it, kinda deep can see primer:



The scratch is around 4-5 inches, can feel the scratch using fingernails.

So may I know can this be fixed by polishing? Anyway to get rid of it other than repainting? If yes, can recommend any shop that can do this?

Thank you guys for taking your time into this.

Regards,

don't think it caused by fingernails must be keys or coins
polishing job supposed to be able to cover that up

Hi Fowl,

Thanks for the respond. No it was definitely not caused by fingernail, I meant can feel it using fingernail

I do hope can cover this up by polishing, do you know any good shop can recommend?

Regards,

Aiyo..small small thing DIY also can la

TS,
Since primer can already be seen, its unlikely tat mere polishing n buffing will enuf to cover it.

Best solution is to polish off as much foreign residues there, n depending on ur car n year or make, u might b able to buy those small touch-up paint (size similar to those ol poster color bottles) n cover d groove wit a caligraphy brush. Might not 100% b as good as new though.

here u go....

out of curiousity, how much each

thanx

go to http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/75541
ask them wheter to polish back or not

small matter just DIY lah. It might not be perfect but at least it can prevent rust. If you are willing to pay around RM200 for repaint then go for professional car paint spray.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the input, actually I got those touch up paint already, but I never successfully get a smooth paint on it tho, whenever I'm applying those paint, sure the surface very rough and ugly, then over spill some more ==

I'm thinking of letting the expert do this as the scratch is at a very noticeable area, door at driver's side. May I know anyone can recommend me a shop that do this? Preferable PJ area.

Thanks yo!

touchup paint more for paint chips but scratches cant really help much..best to respray.

For me just touch up myself, because Malaysian always jealous people car look new and hand got itch and then take out key to scratch it.

use this first..



then use touch up paint after it dry...

try using scratch remover...if still cannot...then only go for top up paint..

sure this can apply?
