fr34kout Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 You could try to carefully fill the scratches with clear resin. Do a little at a time, wipe off the excess around it before it hardens so you have less to deal with later. Once you get fill the scratch completely, let the resin cure and then wet sand with something like 1500-2000 grit sandpaper till it's smooth. After that just buff it out. Bonus points if you tint the tail lights afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr34kout Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sorry to break it to you, but there's no magic way to fix scratches, especially deep one. Very light scratches in paint can be buffed out, deep scratches require you to build the paint back up before you smooth it out. With paint you're talking about less than 1 mm of material, for plastic you're talking about a lot more material. Take a blow torch or lighter to it, try to melt it down in that area to get it smoother? Not much else you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
