Hey everyone... I have been reading a large amount of posts on DC about covering deep scratches; so I won't bother anyone with unspecified detailed questions besides one (for now) hah. With the images supplied below what is the best possible outcome expected using color code touch-up paint to fill those horrendous scratches? Eventually I will end up getting the panels re-sprayed but for now, why not try something out myself and practice. Any information will help and be appreciated. Thanks!

Almost the whole pannel of driver side pannel... Varies in depth.

Driver Side Rear Door Pannel. This one they must have hit muscle fatigue because its pretty weak compared to the other 2... They must have been chicks. j/k ...they were
 
:cool: Looks like you pi**ed her off pretty good.Or by chance do you have kids? Or are kids around your car ever?Reason I ask is I see this from time 2 time were "lil Willie/Suzy gets a little to close to car with bycycle. As far as what to use Billy Mayes has that new paint pen thingamagig.I myself get touch-up paint from local paint supplie store. Having said that 90% of time it matches perfect. 10% of time I wonder if I pi**ed off tha guy@paint store and he jacked up my order.Looks like your dealing with black and that ones hard NOT to get right so I say go for it...Good Luck:cool: :dcrules
 
OUCH !!!!!

IMHO nothing's gonna touch that besides a re-paint.

Again IMHO if you tried to perfect a technique with touch up paint, you'd just get frustrated since it will be nowhere near good on something this large. So I think you'd just get frustrated.
 
I'm with Ron on this one...however your car looks jet black or non-metallic...that's what you have going for you, those colors are easier to blend...I would call one of your local higher end used car lots or high end dealership...most all of them have someone for this type of repair...I have a guy here that dose air brush work, wet sanding and buffing and is excellent for this...he works with all the local car lots.

The cost will be a faction of repaint and will blend in just fine..

Oh and welcome to the site from Sonoma County CA
 
Pro Polish , a cotton towel , and some elbow grease and you'll barely know they are there :bigups

I don't see any metal from my angle so there is hope ;)

There are two pics that look much deeper than what PP can accomplish...that's my take anyway:D
 
Alright, well this is disappointing news... in the pictures its hard to tell how deep they really are. Anyway, thanks for the input hopefully the next post will include better pictures (w/ out scratches) and thanks for the welcome Beemerboy!

Your welcome and a general rule is if you can feel them with your finger nail then they are pretty deep...what I suggested about calling on the local dealership is a good start for this...some of the lighter ones might be removed with some wet sand or polish alone
