Default (( Need help on scratch removal))

Wut up guys,

Well yesterday I went to dinner in a local plaza and when I came out the end of my tail had a scratch. I'm pretty sure it was some local Pomona haters that did it. But my question is can I buff it out, touch up paint?? Let me know your input. Thanks

The white marks you can probably buff out, but where it went down to the plastic you gotta either repaint it or buy a new fairing i guess .

damn haters!!!!

Before trying to use touch up paint, go to pep-boys and buy some Turtle Wax Color Cure for Black. It comes with a crayon like stick (looks like a lipstick) that you use to fill in deep scratches then buff. It worked well on my black truck after someone tagged my rear bumper, and some of my friends who've had their car keyed used it with the same success.

good luck.
