Transcript: Scratch Remover Trick for your Car's Paint
Hi, I'm Barbara Terry for About.com Autos.It is not necessary to have your whole car painted or even the entire panel painted because you have acquired a few scratches. Most of the time you can fill in those scratches to create a like new smooth look.
Old-fashioned Scratch Remover
Most people who fill in a scratch will refer to the old bottle of paint and the brush applicator that is attached to this bottle that you can find at most auto supply stores.Scratch Remover Trick
After years in the car industry learning the little tricks of the trade this is probably one of my favorites. You will need to buy a brand new medical syringe with a small needle, you can get one of these at a medical supply house.Car Paint Matching
In order to get the correct match to your cars paint contact a body shop, give them the make, model, and year of your vehicle or simply take it to them so they can look at it and give you the correct match to your cars color.Scratch-Remover Technique
The benefit of this procedure is that you will be filling in the scratch not painting over it and also getting paint on the area around the scratch that is perfectly fine.Demo…..Fill the syringe with the paint, then carefully insert the needles tip into the far end of the scratch, release enough paint in order to fill in the scratch completely, make sure you do not over- fill in the scratch because then you will have paint running onto the perfectly fine areas of your car.
You will need to let this dry completely before washing your car.
