Proper knocked the skin off my custard mate ..just hope they can be repainted and blown in without telling ..if not I'll have to have the bumpers and wing painted.

Can they not be touched in and flatted back....?

I think you could just touch in with touch up pen, wait for it to harden, then flat back, do again etc until it is perfect...shouldn’t take a lot to do.

Use a block and maybe 3000 wet and dry with soapy water and don’t push hard, then polish back up.

I did a similar thing with my cossie Mat. I just filled the chip with a touch up stick then used a bit of wet and dry to get the paint flat. Then I polished it. If you look really close you can see it but from about half a metre away I can't see it. I was gutted when I did it.

Looks like if I can't get them blown in without having to paint the whole panel ill have to go for the touch up and flat back option .

Just a pita being red, I bought an old audi before that was red and looked fine in the daytime but at night every panel was a different shade under a street lamp

sorry to see that mate, car is mint

I'm a fussy fooker when it comes to paint this as royally pissed on my parade ..my own fault I should have just left it alone until I move to my new house and bigger garage

They are quite small so I wonder if one of the Smart Repair companies could sort them out? Years back my Daughter had a nearly new Citroen C3 in red and someone deliberately scratched one panel. A guy came and took a couple of hours on it and I was amazed at how good it was. You could not see where the damage had been from any angle or right up close to it. I even contacted the Company and said what a good job the guy had done.
I am a firm believer in leaving some jobs to the experts.

I've decided to have them repaired and painted properly my old painter up Sheffield is going to sort it me out once it's all up and running ill drive it to him.

Good idea, you have used him before so you know his standards already.

tosh

I feel your pain mate if you are like me and you don’t get it done properly it will always bug the hell out of you, nobody else will probably see them but you will notice them every time you was it, you’ve made the right decision.

No is the answer the whole bumper will need to be painted. Red is a bitch.
