Car scratches

(^^,) Cloverleaf SG

Recently scratched a bit of my car while driving. Tried polishing to make it less visible but didn't work.

Anybody's got any advice on how to handle the problem or any recommendations on a good workshop? I damn heartache as it is a relatively new car..

u can go to workshop and ask them to do some touch up lor...i think less than $100 u can get the things done...

i can understand the "pain" u felt, as it is a new car...

if the scratch is small, why not try getting those automotive touching up paint from DIY shops. I saw these in Selfix, Vin-mart …..perhaps you can even find these in Autobacc?

One panel is roughly $100 to respray (if no dents)
One panel meaning one section of the car
price also dependent on paint

U can try some of the workshops opp the Vicom test centre near thompson. Last time I remeber they did a pretty good job on a fren's car which had a really bad scratch, but it cost roughly $200 Very Happy

But maybe u should leave it should it does not rust, in case u kanna scratch same spot (hope not Wink ) at least next time respray the panel will cost the same. This is usually recc for inexperienced drivers. (dun get me wrong not saying u are Razz )

1 i think is kanna by some bushes due to my careless driving, too near to them. lucky very small and not very visible.
the other 1 is obviously kanna by some idiot.

Hello mate,

I will have the solution for you.

Me car also kenna, perhaps stone chips on the highway. A 2004 Mit Lancer sports, pains me so much, also a mth old onli,

Bring a film cast holder (the one holding new films when u pass film to shops for developing.

Bring that to your car service centre (e.g., Mit- C&C), ask for some touch up paint for your car from them. They will give u free. fill into the film holder, which they will do for u. The film holder keeps the paint good.

go home take cotton bud or brush (colourpaint brush- schooling type, small scratch use ultra light and fine pt, big ones get bushy kinds). Slowly fill the holes up, dab not paint!!!

Hope it helps!
