scratch car bad~

Post by Vibe2009 »

Ok, I scratch my car badly today~ I can see bare metal~What happen is, I open my driver side door to pin in some code to open a gate~ I miss calculate the distance and get the damn pole with the key pad~What can I do to minimize the damage? Touch up paint is all I know~

Maybe some scratch remover buffing compound, but I've never been able to get that "stuff" to work - as seen on tv - so I'd try the touchup paint or a good body shop.

if it goes down to the metal the buffing compound will not do anything. you could have it professionally done, use bondo, or what i did went i dropped my bike on the car (don't worry the bike was ok) I used touch up paint, and waxed over it.
