hey guys i found out i have these tiny scratches near my front fender, the scratch isnt that bad but you could see the white paint, underneath my Black paint. How can i fix this? should i use factory touch up paint? if so how do i apply it on to the scratch?

thanks

 

Take some pichars and post them up. It'll help.

 

here you go looks worst in the pics but its really not too deep

 

search on a product called langka. nothing but good reviews from everyone.

 

thanx ill try searching for it

 

I've also heard good things about the langka kits but haven't had a chance to try one out. If you end up using it, keep us posted on your results.

If you go the touch up route, here is a quick and dirty writeup of what I do:

Soak my sandpaper in water overnight: 1500 grit, 2000 grit, 2500+ grit
Prep the surface by cleaning the scratch with some water & isopropyl alcohol
Using a toothpick, direct the touch up paint into the scratch, and over apply the paint in the effected area.
Let the "blob" cure for a day or two, then revisit with your sandpaper.
Depending on how much paint was used, wetsand the area down and finish up with the finer and finer sandpaper.
The scratch should be completely filled and smooth, with a haze from the wet sanding.
Take out your favorite cutting polish to remove the wet sanding marks and follow up with a finishing polish.
After polishing, be sure to protect your paint since there obviously isn't any protection left.

I plan on doing an in depth writeup of this process with detailed pictures in the future so I'll be sure to keep you updated once I finish.

they dont look that bad
try a fine cut cleaner to remove/then just a polish/wax and or seal.
g/l

 

I have a few scratches like that as well on my OB. I don't know that I want to try to wetsand myself though.

 

I cant wait to see this write up George, this is definitely going to be a helpful one in my case.

 

same here.. thanks!

 

man. Taking sandpaper to your car sounds scurry. But the outcome has to be worth it.

 

nce write up man, i do that same thing, but only thing i do dif is when i am sanding i have a spray bottle with me and keep wetting the surface while sanding, hence wet sanding

i have heard this out this nicly in a long time +1,000,000,000 this guy knows what he is talking abt

So how are you with Buffing/Waxing/Polishing Black Cras, I just might have to take a trip
