I am thinking about apply a decal to cover up the scratches. Should i sand it down or anything before applying?

I would do this => Sand / Wash / Dry/ Apply

make sure its clean and apply. I wouldn't sand it. It will only make it look worse.

News: it will look like crap anyway. Save your shekels and get it repainted. A sticker won't fool anyone.

I thought the point of owning an old civic was to see how far you could go with $40 and a CDN tire credit card.
