scratches

mbz · 04-21-2010, 03:53 PM

i have 1 scratch on the door, 1 scratch on the hood, and i scratch on the fender. all three of them are down to the primer and i can feel with my fingernail. can the dealership airbrush over the scratches? has anyone had this done or heard about this?

The dealership will not do the work, they will contract it out to someone that does work for them, and they are ok but will cost ya. They usually come out and do the work right there on the dealer lot.

is the airbrushing scratches like using dr. colorchip? do they air brush over the scratch and remove the excess paint

if they arent that long or wide why dont u just try using a real small amount of the nissan touch up paint for you car? itll be a lot more economical. just make sure not to use a lot cuz it will stick out, just use enough to cover the primer and thats it.

i was thinking that, but i don't want to mess it up. maybe iwill give it a try. should i use the brush part or the pen part?

If you use the brush you will leave a glob. The pen will be ok but will look rough. You can use a wooden toothpic for small scratches for a better job.
