Civic 07 scratched!!!!

[match]

My 3 mth old civic was scratched very badly . anyone knows how to fix it??? and how much? damn the problem is i don't know when it happened. :(
The pic shows the scratch on the door trim and thats the worst out of the other 3 lines that the bugger did on my doors.

hmm damn thats thick

respray

[jamchen]

damn... what caused that scratch? That is hell a deep one in deed...
The only way to cover that scratch is the panel beaters... i don't think there's any product can buff out the scratch...

Respray. For the door trim ones, live with it or replace with new ones. Camp and wait for the guy with a frozen trout.

Its just a respray job but make sure they get the correct color-code..

Hung does a good job. Lu's out of the business so don't call him. Good Luck!

same like mine. 6months and scratch, but not as deep as urs.
just 10cm wide, got quote $300 for re-spray.urs may be same.

Honda doesn't do resprays. They send your car out to a panel beater/spray painter. Try asking your dealer which spray painter do they use.

if i let it be would it corrode?

it depends the deepness of the scratch to determine would it go rust or not..
if you see the metals from the scratch then it is more than likely to be...
if you, due to some reason can not fix it straight away... apply some wax to it...:o

I ended up filling it with the Honda touch up paint repeatedly until it was thickened and hardened enough to be level with rest of car. Then I'm going to get it professionally buffed and should look alright.

I wasn't keen on the respray idea since don't want one door to look different to the rest after a year or two in the sun!

well here is another pic of the remainder scratches besides door trim one. so in total 3 long lines and 1 big ass line on the door trim. man who is my greatest enemy?

[denot]

[ryanc]

i had it happen to my car too
just dont park it in a dodgy area...
fkn lowlives wanna scratch people's cars for no reason i hope they get what's comin

went to a smash repair and got quoted for 600bux respray on the front and back doors. decent deal?

[gumbii]

can you notice that the touch up paint doesnt give that metallic paint finish?

i scratched one of my side mirrors and thought that the touch up paint would blend it in but its just like normal black paint!

got it from honda - nighthawk black..to me it just looks like black paint....:thumbdwn:

looking into this black polish at the moment..just got it from supercheap and its like lipstick tube that you spread into the scratch crack..then you just buff it.

waiting for weekend cos need daylight to apply soo i can really tell if htere is a difference but looks promising on a mini test when i applied in night.

cant exactly remember...roughly about $20 for about 100ml tube

I think it's $17ish to be more precise from memory when I bought the Nighthawk Black.

And yes it's just ordinary black paint unfortunately but I think after i get the car buffed, it'll look ok.
