some drunk scratched my car,how can it be fixed?

[Ben.]

i take pride in the fact that my cars paintwork is in very good condition....but i was out lastnight, and some drunk passenger in my mates car opened his car door onto mine whilst i was driving!!

will this need respraying?

its about a metre in length

Possibly, can't really tell from the photo. How deep is it? Tried polishing/scratch x ?

 

[Ben.]

i know its hard to tell from the photo, its not too deep , but it catches on my nail if i run it down the car!

i have tried;

t-cut scratch remover
black t-cut
polish

hasnt made much difference tbh

 

[bmh.01]

Respray then by the sound of it i'm afraid!

Chips away may be able to repair it, cheaper than a body shop. You can get this 3M polish its amazing and should take that out.

I reakon it looks like a bodyshop job.

I wouldn't use chipsaway, i had them come out to my girlfriends car and the touched it up with a brush, i could have done a better job with a Halfords touch up pen.

Until you can get it re-sprayed use turtle waxes chip stick and coloured polish, the chip stick fills the gap and the polish colours the chip stick, will hide it well n im talking from experience

get a PC on it and see what you can do with it. if it stays then itll need respraying.

did you make him pay for it ? or did you kill him ?

looks like most will wetflat and polish out. i reckon you could get it to barely visible

That will almost certainly wet sand out.

You wont touch it with a PC michael, a Rotary would make it look better by taking the edges off but wetsand and machine polisher is the route I would go down if it was a clients car.

You'd be looking at about £50-75 for me to do it for you depending on time taken
