It's not my Mini (whew!)...it's a car I'm considering buying...a 2002 Infiniti I35...gold color.

It's a nice car but someone took a key (or similar), and drew a big circle on the boot, and then put a couple long scratches down the right side...both fenders and both right side doors.

I can feel the scratch with my fingernail, and it appears I'm looking at the primer color down in the scratch.

So...

What are the options?

Of course I'd like the car to look perfect, but a 80%+ fix would be OK-ish.

I've been reading around the forum and the internet for various products that "fill" scratches or "blend" scratches...also companies that provide scratch removal service which they claim saves "hundreds/thousands" over having the car repainted.

Ideas?

Thanks so much...

 

Various touchup paint options--most will get close, won't be a perfect fix, but that's about all you can do short of repainting it. I assume as a gold color it's a metallic which complicates the repair, but if you're going to try you might try this-- I don't have any personal experience but was recommended from users on my detailing forum.

ouch... see if you can get a deduction on the price and
have it repaired.
