Chewy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That looks pretty deep. Does your finger nail hang up in it if you run it perpendicular to the scratch? If so, It'll probably need painted. You could hide it a bit with some work, but you probably won't get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't repaint mine but was able to remove parts of it that weren't deep and lessen the visual impact of the deep parts. Used the 4" focus pads and took my time.

mc2hill Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would suggest going over the scratches several times with SHR, especially with the 4" pads if you have them. That should at least knock the edges off the scratches and make them less noticeable. If that does not work and you decide to have it repainted, this would be an excellent time to try wetsanding them! Start with 3000 grit, and maybe move down to 2000, then back up to 3000. Since you planning to have it repainted, if you mess up it's getting fixed anyway, and if it makes them disappear you saved $! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Unfortunately, I would say that is definitely not fixable without being repainted. I don't know what your deductable is, but if it is $500 I would say your going to come in under that. Paint labor isn't usually too expensive. It is when you get into removing and replacing parts that it adds up. Just an example that I found on the internet. LABORRATESANDPRICING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
