Scratch Removal

[C.slicker]

Hey guys,


I have a scratch one my rear bumper (dynamique one) about 6 inches long. It is reasonably deep in parts (deep enough to get your nail stuck in and for it to feel rough to the touch.

Best way to remove it/hide it?

Not too bothered myself, its just I am selling the car and cba with people wanting to knock £100 off the price just because of a scratch on the bloody bumper.

Thanks

Sam

ask in awanted section for someone who has an old touch up pen in your colour.

failing that goto renault and get a touch up pen. or if you know someone in the repair trade, get them to mix you up 1:10th of paint in a small pot.

then get either some folded masking tape or a cocktail stick and just go along the line a bit at a time

I have order a touch up pen (6.49 which isn't bad for Renault) but it needs sanding or smoothing me thinks.

The whole scratch is still rough (as its plastic...)

Thanks

well, if your really brave, sand it down with some P2000 wetordry with soapy water and polish it back up with some G3 or scratch-x, then touch the scratch up, polish it back down.

tbh i wouldnt goto extremes if your selling the car, your looking at £7 for G3, then price of some wetordry which seems a b*****d to get hold of in single sheets

right ok

So you would say just sand it down a bit and then touch it up?

you can try, but you gotta be careful, the actual bumper is a white plastic usually, so when you scratch it, you see a white scratch. if your scratch is sitting proud and you try flat it down, it may just turn into a horrible raised white line with your scratch aswell.
