Dammit! Scratched my paintwork...

Posted on
  • Well a few months ago some nice builders decided to dump all their painting equipment in my bike shed (well, actually on my bike) leaving my poor frame covered in spots of white paint, so today I tried to scrub them off (gently) but I've managed to leave a load of small scratches in the surface of my paint work. I thought I was being careful!

    Any idea how to redeem paintwork which has tiny surface scratches in it?

  • ooh, a machine...

  • you could try T Cut a few quid for a bottle from any home ware/car shop

  • t cut, polish, and elbow grease, the latter you can find, well, near your elbow.
    Or lacquer it, after sanding it all, but i'm unsure whether that's a good thing. Might peel afterwards.

  • T cut looks just the ticket, I'll go find some

    thanks:)

  • The big Dulux shops have a spectrograph analyser which guarantees a perfect match for the paint colour. However that leaves the problem of the application unless you have a spray kit with compressor.

  • brasso will do the trick its got a really fine grit and should be just the ticket

  • you want finishing stuff from a car paint shop ( not homfrauds)
    the really fine grade is what you need, its how they buff up new paint,
    tcut is wank in comparison

    Erm, think you might be a bit late there guys.

    A year and a half too late to be precise.

  • I'm sure if you talked to Neil about it he'd pay for the repair, assuming it was his fault.
