I scratched the shoulder of My NEW! SCREAMING YELLOW GT and its 2 scratches side by side about an inch long each - and touch up paint in that area is out of the questions.

can anyone advise on what to do or where could i take her so it could look brand new - and how much would something like that cost - are they going to have to paint the whole shoulder wheel well?

 

How deep are the scratches? If theyre not through the clear coat you can buff em out.

gotta pic ?
Don't panic, try scratch x, scratch away, something like that. It's available @ autozone, pepboys, btob, carquest etc..
Go slow, follow the directions. Follow up with colored wax. You will have to reapply after washing, but,.............
You should be "goodtogo"
GOOD LUCK, and keep us posted.

the scratch starts with a small pin hole like that is well deep in the paint then scratches out to the2 inch long scrates i described that are not deep at all i dont even thing my nail would get in

 

Don't try to put your nail in there, itll only put surface scratches around it
Use the scratch remover, and Dupli-Color wax on the scratches only. GO SLOW, don't try to rub the DC in all at once. Do 2-3 applications.
I believe your car is red, even though you show yellow by your name. The red DC is one of the best.

no I'm screaming yellow - that pic is my car in the garage - I'll try it - if it doesn't work will i have to take it to a shop? and how much does that usually run?

 

They do have DP in yellow also, I really feel, the scratch remover and DP will do the job for you.
The scratches sound minor, and painting them would require more than just painting the scratched area for blending purposes.
I'm only guessing here, probably $100-$150.

 

Again thanks for the info - its been a big help - i'll find out what i will do this weekend - if it ever stops raining in NYC!!

 

Alicia?
