Self Inflicted Damage ....argh!!

Paints4u do an awesome little scratch repair kit for around 15 notes that contains everything you'll need.

Sorry for delay in responding - been to Guernsey for a couple of days.

Anyway, I have something very similar to the paints4u kit from Mer (called the Mer scratch Repair kit), which is essentially a rebadged Farecla kit, which I have used in stone chips previously - can highly recommend it, but watching the video is a must, otherwise the thought of using wet and dry on your lovely paint is horrific!

I am going to try and find another piece of similar self coloured plastic to have a play with - I am confident that I can get the scratches out with the 2000-3000 grit paper, but never tried using the compound to bring plastic back to a gloss finish

Thanks
Mark

I'm using the paints4u kit for somechip damage on the bonnet wings and a few scrapes and knocks around the car. I'm not after a A1 finish as my 8 isn't the best anyway. I've been using 2000 wet dry paper and it looks horriffic but a good compound polish and all is well.

The paint match from the paints4u kit is very good and even with a unseasoned dummy like me doing it it's hard to spot where i've repaired.

My car will be at ADI and i'm more than happy to let people have a play with it, the kit will be in the boot and i doubt i'll get round to polishing it now before the wk-end.

Well I got paint from paints4U for a Freelander and colour was noticably different
