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! |

The Langka stuff looks like a more refined version of what I do- fill using little little droplets on a toothpick, let semi-harden, use razor blade to remove touch-up paint around the scratch (with a BRIGHT light), repeat a few times, then use a clay bar to rub down the finished area after about 12 hours. Unless the paint is lacquer (sp) the edges can't be blended, but shadows can be minimized. When I have tried to "cut-in" touch up with wet sanding (on the imron paint on my car), it ALWAYS made a bigger problem.
