Re: Repairing scratches in plastic?

You say they are deep, so you may not be able to just buff it out and repaint. There are people who do fix plastics, but they are few and far between... and usually expensive, too.

Do you have pics? That would help us point you in a direction.

ok finnaly got pics sorry it took a while

here is the damage as a whole


this is one of the deep scratches


here is the other deep scratch


here is another pic of the first one


to me it looks to deep to sand out, but do you think like a little bit of bondo would stick since its a small area?

You might be able to buff most of it out and plug up the little holes with Bondo. It really isn't that bad... I was picturing something REALLY nasty!

Don't fix them. Perfect plastics like to find their way back to the asphalt. A few dings and scrapes are good luck.

Re: Repairing scratches in plastic?

I think BMW's are jinxed! I dropped my dad's when I was learning how to ride.

Check back in and let us know how it goes!
