Honestly man that's gonna have to get repainted. I felt those scratches and they were deep. Gonna need to be sanded down, filled, etc.

Maybe some folks up in MD can recommend a good shop for ya?

Wash it with dawn soap, prep it with rubbing alcohol, sand down with 180-320 grit, spray primer, sand primer with wet 600 grit, spray base coat, spray clear coat, wetsand with 1500...then compound it. Don't wax it for 30 days. Edit to add:This still will not look factory. It won't match the surrounding area exactly but you won't see the black scratches.

It wouldn't hurt to stop by the place that painted your wing to get a quote. By the time you buy supplies you could already be out 100 dollars.

Brian, man, we have to link up, I got a GSXR 600 about a week ago, I wanna have a piece of my fairing touched up with a nice clear coat. I've only had it a week and I havent had a lot of time to asess it and wee what it really needs, but Im pretty sure it doesnt need any body work done.

What road did we learn from on this day?Was it in PA or MD?

b1adesofcha0s · 04-10-2011, 12:06 PM

Not exactly sure was road it was, but I think it was in MD.

Also, I've been looking at the scrape on my car and you can't see it unless you are looking for it or looking at the car from a distance. What's the best I can do with like $20-30? I just want it to not stock out as much. The bumper is already riddled with a bunch of rock chips so I don't want to pay something like $100+ just to get that little spot fixed. Is rather just cover it up right now and get the bumper replaced later on.

Edit: Officially putting myself on a spending lockdown, so I'm just going to leave it as it is for now.
