Advice On Paint Correction - Can It Be Done Or Needs Repainted

[maclarenf1]

Hi detail gurus...

My back bumper has fair number of scratches from Jap land, now i would want to get it fixed hopefully without painting it.. if this is possible,

I got an over the phone quote from a brisbane detailing guy for 8-10 hours at $60 per hour and said most can be removed. but i am not sure if these stubborn babies will go that easy.

if i were to paint back bumper - how much would that cost - base estimate would do..

only deep scratch on the body is this one.. can this be paint corrected as well.

Back Bumper scratches

Really is virtualy impossible to tell from photo's, any photo's

Rule of thumb

if your fingernail catchs in the scratch it can not be removed

can be made to look alot less obvious though

If the scratches are really bad, I would respray... Your always going to notice the touch ups and for 600 bucks I would think your getting very close to a respray cost anyways... Just depends on how much prep work they have to do on the bar really..

These guys charge by the hour, paint costs are relitevly small really...

Clean it up the best you can, it'll look alot better once youve run a buff over it with some decent cutters. As the above poster mentioned, if you can get your nail in it theres not much you can do, but cleaned up it'll be a lot less noticable.
