Sorry I dont know any peugeot wreckers but I do have a great normal panel beater in Burwood that has done a job for me in the past...name is Pat Coles Smashmaster

On the theme of reparis....does anyone know anything about key generated scratches and how to fix such damage....someone decided to sign my bonnet and now I am a proud owner of a 10-15cm scratch...and Ive only had my cc for 3 weeks!!

:x its not that deep but you can see the metal and Im not sure where I can get toucj up paint or whether I will need it professional help (my colour btw is agean blue)

suggestions to my solution greatly welcome

Neville

I use Meguiars scratchX (about $20 a tube), work wonders for light scratches... it will work good on the paint areas, but still se metal on the deep sections

But dont forget that its Murphy's law that someting is bound to happen to your car within a month of buying it...so a scratch aint too bad

Hi Nev,

Sorry to hear that.

Sounds like a job for a panelbeater, though. Only a paint job will sort something like that out.

Similar thing happened to my brother's Golf when he got it a couple of years ago now - just a little scratch in one of the doors, but cos he's so damn fussy, he had to have a $2,500 repaint job done!

Cheers,
Michael

(btw, nice choice in colour. You obviously have taste!)

Thanks all for your suggesion...i might try the touch up first before i consider going to a panel beater...

actually reading your reply about the golf gave to flashbacks as i also have a golf which was also scratched a couple of years ago on the passenger door a couple of months after new so i think its just a constant for all my cars

Hi

My solution in the end was luckily solved for me....

The pug had a minor accident to the front of the car so I was able to get it fixed by a smash repair...but from the sound of it it does look like such a scratch will have to be resprayed and that could costs $1k to $3k!!

dont know whats going to happen to my excess though..
