Answer 1

It's very difficult to get a good finish with DIY - get a quote from a good independent garage.

Answer 2

Go to a garage to get it done

A small scuff can be covered buffing in some T-Cut otherwise i'd suggest you take it to a garage

Answer 4

If its metalic or deep dont try it will look a mess.If its not deep or mettalic you can buy repair kits from Halfords and car shops take you car v5 and they will match the paint with the factory colour its like a pen and you just colour the scratches in.

Answer 5

sand the scrape, buff it so there is no bumps left, go to a ford dealer ask for the colour of your car and the paint you should use, and put an undercoat on then the colour

and hey presto your car is as good as new

hope this helps

Answer 6

Depends on if its the paintwork or the bumper. however, if its the bodywork and it has dented it too then sand it right back and apply filler. then sand it smooth and repaint

Answer 7

don't do it yourself it will look terrible trust me get a smart repairer to do it

Answer 8

If the bodywork has not been damaged, and the paintwork is intact, you can remove the scuff marks with regular car paint polish.  If it is superficial scuffing only, it will fix it.  However, if it more than that, it will need to be professionally repaired....

Answer 9

Just slap some grey paint on it, it'll be fine, it's only a telegraph pole after all.

Oh you meant your CAR, sorry? Best to take it to a paintshop, they'll probably be able to buff out the scratch.
