Icon2 Help repairing scratch on 2004 White Base RSX

It looks like its cutting into plastic and I dont want to screw it up so I thought id take it to the pros, I know a lot of you guys work at body shops.

Anyways - here it is. As much info as possible as I have never tackled anything like this before.

Its from loading a bike in the trunk - there are several smaller scratches in the vicinity but mainly worried about the nasty black one =(

thanks.

uhm...to be honest

it probably won't be worth your while to go get this fixed legit.

if you are ballin...go get it done right

if not just buy some honda touch up paint or even nail polish and cover it up lol

trust me i understand your pain...my car has so many little dings from A$$holes opening doors

and a little nick on my rear bumper..like nicklesized

just learn to live with it....if it's a daily driver its gonna happen

but if you're rich go for it.

thanks for the reply - I think ill get some touch up paint and live with it, it is a daily driver and I am not in a position to drop much cash into fixing it.

so literally just go over it with the paint, dont try and sand it down at all where the rough edge is?

chances are if you try to sand it down you might make it worse.

go buy honda/acura touch up paint for roughly $10
and just cover it up with a light coat.
