Scratch Repair - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After someone backed into my car trying to parallel park, I was tasked with trying to find a solution to fix the scratches caused without having to repaint the entire front bumper.

After much research I went with Scratch Wizard who is a one man operation. I must say that this guy did an awesome job at removing the scratches and would recommend him to any of you guys.

The guys name is Sam and he has a mobile set up which means he will come to you where ever you are.

do you have before/after photo?

Also keen to see before/afters.

The paint on this car is so thin I've picked up a few light scratches myself, including three across my trunk from when I went to the US and the stupid border guard let his dog jump up on the car

Yes, I would like to see and roughly the cost, some one keyed my corner panel and waiting till spring to have it painted. But this might be a cheaper alternative.

A little hard to see considering the white color

Tdot · 01-14-2013, 12:46 PM

Sorry for the delay guys but here is a look at the after pics.

chenshuo · 01-14-2013, 12:51 PM

I can still see the scratches

b.e · 01-14-2013, 12:53 PM

You have better eyes than I have. I can only see reflections. Do they look whiter than the background paint?

What you are seeing are the stress cracks however it is very subtle in person and you can only tell if you are right up close to it and know that it is there. This is a cheaper alternative to completely repainting the front bumper and with the SWP tri color paint, color matching would be a bitch.
