Hiding these?

[Robbie]

Hey,

Long story short I hit a post at the end of my driveway yesterday reversing out because I wasn't concentrating, trying to choose a song I wanted to listen to I took some paint off the post which has obviously gone on to the car.

What's the best way of making these look better? They're pretty deep so they're going to be visible no matter what but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas on masking them a bit?

Cheers!

Get some metallic T-Cut on them, or a similar cutting compound, that should take away the light ones and blend a bit of paint into the deeper marks. Use some back to black or tyre and bumper gel on the plastic trim. You can make them look better, but I'm afraid they'll always be there.

Have they gone down to the base coat? if that's so then you'll only either be able to TRY and touch it up (will take wet sanding and machine polishing to get a good finish) or get the bumper resprayed. if not then do as andy said and give a cutting compound a go. i'd recommend meguiars scratch-x or mess ultimate compound.

GTA-Andy's reply is the best here, try some t-cut. You could also get some black Colour Magic, and if they don't polish out with that, you could use a black bodywork touch up pen.

let us know how you get on.

If yor tryna hide this from our Parnts then go into city find a mechanics place and Order a new one, dont take the cheap Way out, always ends bad, I personally would tell m parentss hat happened after I bought the new humor and had it put on, so thy know I didn't lie to them, didn't hid anything from them ( cause who knows maybe a neighbor saw ) and shows how responsible I can be to put out my on money for my mistakes
