Car keyed :(


Recommended Posts

Yep dubs I think you are right, Ultimately I need a few bits for it, new bonnet and passenger door as someone had dented it (previous owner) and respray or vynal wrap.

Generally the car body work is "ok" I bought based on the fact it had had a recent engine transplant but the body needs a tidy when money allows... Getting it keyed is the final straw now though. I'll see if I can get a touch up pen on it for now.

Any ideas where to get these parts without paying moon money?

It's storm blue (210) I think ! Are you both heading to Portsdown tomorrow ?

Although you will not make it disappear entirely, if you get a touch up pot of paint to match the vehicle, then thin it down a bit with thinners...

You can pull some into the scratch with a cloth, brush etc, then pull a bit of rubber to remove the excess.

Wait for it to dry. Rub back the "over spray(spill)"

Then touch it up again if you have hollow spots. And polish back.

This will hide the undercoat/primer/metal line you can see as the "scratch".
