So last weekend I made a start on repairing the deep scratches the car had prior to my purchase...













After many hours of prep work I began spraying to "fill the gap" and finished with a lacquer. Looks awful at the moment but I've left the paint to cure for a week now and will hopefully (weather permitting) be getting stuck into it again tomorrow.

Pesky jones:
Hi mate. Can you explain your process for the scratch repair? I have a deep scratch which appears white like yours, and assumed the only option is a respray of all four panels.

I'm following these instructions here:

Not guaranteed to be brilliant but I will give anything a go!
