whats the best way to remove these scratches?




way i could think of was to get some touchup pen, and put in in the scratch, use a fine grit wet n dry, then use the G220 or PC to polish it back up again.

what do people think?

key it up, put some colour in once dry flat it back then clean it and put some lacquer in once dry flat that back and polish it up, if its just solid colour then can just put colour in and polish

dont use a pen there wank! get sum wet flatting production paper about P1000 - P1500.. rub the scratch using plenty of water dont go through to primer else you'll be spraying the whole fing again, once the scratch is out use G3 on it.. its like 100000000 times better than T-cut, then get the polisher on it.. other than that just sand it back primer it and spray the whole panel then good luck on blending it in!!

chris trying to polish it back up with a random orbital polisher will take ages. and with those products it wont work.

compound head and some Farecla g3 or g4 will be best

it will take your eye off it, had a similar scratch on my nova at the top of the door did the same thing and its been to many shows and noone has noticed it, its also a flip pearl so it will be fine on a solid colour
