JENIAN Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 My Duetto has some scratch marks on the bonnet. They are not deep and, I think, they were caused by trying to get insects deposits off it. It is metalic silver paint. Any ideas please?? Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duetto owner Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 got the same van, I would pop into your local ford dealer for advice depending on depth it might polish out - or t cut - or touch up paint stick if using this option apply with toothpick not the touch up brush.

Mel B Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You could try some coloured car wax/polish. We had some scratches o the bonnet of our Renault Megane some years ago, a local moggy decided it was a nice place to have a kip and then must've slid down it with its claws out. The scratches were quite deep but some of the coloured wax soon sorted them out and you really could not see them, even the dealer didn't find them when we traded the car in and he went over it with a fine toothed comb!!! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 As Tracker says, T.Cut. But don't go through the Laquer or you will be getting the Bonnet re-sprayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You can get sheets of self adhesive extreemly thin plastic sheet the colour of the required paint and stick it on, hardly noticable, but very, very fragile, and needs great care when applying. Obviously found on the paint shelves in most motor care shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I was just checking on the above, it is not sheets of thin plastic, it is sheets of actual cellulose, that is why it is so fragile and hardly noticable when it is on the original paint surface.
