fixing a scuff :(

[iain187]

I am a plank and managed to scuff my bumper last night.

I have never really done any body work repairs like this before so I am looking for advice on what I need to do with this:

most of it isn't too bad, the section near the reg plate is pretty deep though.

sooooo p!ssed off with myself :quiet:

at least the reg plate took most of the blow, I can easily fix that

Proper way is a respray, Get away with rubbing it down, primer, base coat and laquer from rattle cans though. Deep scratches may need fine filler

if you are as you say clueless about bodywork mate i would have it painted properly probs cost 130 ish but would be a good job and would not look bodged etc

i was thinking of taking it for a quote and seeing if the risk was worth it or not.

as much as it is something i would like to learn, if i fluff it up im sure i would be even more unhappy than forking out 1-200 quid.

cheers tho

paint match and preperation are most important things
