I opened the rear trunk to retreive a tool and my engine lid was not all the way opened. I have a one inch scratch in the rear trunk from the engine lid latch bolt.
How do you fix?? I was thinking about masking off the scratch with blue tape, using touch up paint and once it's dry, wet sanding the touchup paint/scratch. What would you do???? Thanks! |

I might just live with it, but if you have matching paint, use a water color brush and "fill" the scratch with several light coats. Build it up to just above the height of the surrounding paint. Then go to an auto paint store and buy a couple of very fine sanding blocks (1500 and finer). Patiently sand the paint down to level. If you aren't making much progress, you may need to touch it with some 600 or 1000, but use a very small block and stay off the old paint as much as possible. However, you can buff out 600 grit scratches with cleaning compound. Then polish with something like 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze.
