Had a wee mishap with an old lady at Zehrs!

No damage other than scratches but, they look ugly as hell@!

Some fine (400 or finer) sandpaper, spray bomb, and clearcoat-in-a-can. Buffing after.

You wouldn't believe how well my ding came out with a little elbow grease and some rubbing compound.


See how well it comes out by hand first.

Micro Bunny, pick up some touch up paint at your ford dealer. then come to my house and I'll show you how to do the rest, including wet-sanding, buffing, and clearcoating.

Well when I had my Black Focus Sport Sedan, My sister backed into a garbage can and really really badly scraped up the passenger side of my rear bumper on the car &lt;_&lt; . I got some Ford touch up paint from the dealership &amp; I just went over all the scraches with the little paint brush that came with it &amp; it dryed in minutes.

Needless to say no one noticed that it was damaged in that area when I took the car back when I got it appraised when my lease ended on that car. :lol:
