Car scratch removal?!?!

[mac_135]

Just scratched my ****ing truck with my brake lever - Not too deep but enough that it really bothers me. Any suggestions on products or a shop that can fix it without costing tons?

Depending on how long you plan on keeping the truck, this might help:

Good and cheap that won't be fast sounds great. Now where do I go? lol

Whats your location? I know a couple great shops in the Durham area.

How deep is the scratch? can you catch your fingernail in in?

If its just on clear coat you can most likely buff most of it out,
if it into the base paint or down to the primer it will not buff out

Ditto. There are several options if it's only in the clear coat. Buff, clear coat and there are clear coat kits. If you're into colour coat you are looking at $$$$. A panel repaint with a good shop so the colour matches will set you back tons.

The curse of the exercise is that a week after fixing the problem some twit will bash your cage in a parking lot and not even think about it. One of the reasons I would never own a high end car.

Thanks for the responses.. Might just be clear coat, can't catch a nail in it. I'm in Oakville so Durham might be a bit far.

If its not catching your nail then a simple buff will do.
