    Hi

    Some pleasant young chaps decided to scratch obscenities into my car last night - how much am I looking at to get this fixed?

    One side is just a long key job - have two obscenities on the other side - letters not very big and scratches do not look too deep but car is not worth much so I'd rather not pay too much.

    Thanks

    You could try T-cut scratch repair.

    is this a DIY kit - anyone had any experience using it?

    Just google it.

    T-Cut will remove the primer by virtue of its very fine abrasive qualities and provide a smooth finish as well.

    Alternately you can use a scratch filler, get one same colour as car.

    Depends on the dept, if its into the primer it would mean total respray of the panel.

    Tried t-cut - just made the words green although it does seem to have done a decent job on some other scrapes on the car.

    I was strolling around halfords and they have DIY sprays etc. - wonder if I should go down this road - a re-spray is a no-no as it would cost more than the car is worth.

    the words are not that big and do not seem too deep
