There are some scratchs on my car. Nothing big but would like to fix them. Suggestions on how.

Touch up paint is my suggestion.

If it's not deep, you may be able to buff them out. If they go down to primer, check out the instructions on the dupli-color site.

Oh duh! I'm stupid I forgot you could use turtlewax and try and buff them out like tenspeed said. Thanks for reminding me.

I would try what tenspeed said first.:cool:

if you can feel them with your finger nail they most likly will not buff out, you might be able to lighten them up alittle (make them less obvious) but if they are deep you will need to use some touch up paint.

You can get touch up paint from AutoZone and other auto stores. Just make sure you get the right coded paint for your car.

look at the cardboard part that covers your spare tire, there should be a white label on it with a ton of RPO codes. There will be some numbers at the bottom of it by there self thats your paint code, write that down then take it to a dealership.

How much you think it'll cost.

A little bottle with a brush in the lid use to be around $5. You can also buy it from a dealer. www.dupli-color.com has a color chart, paint names and numbers.
