Scratches on potential purchase S2k
I've quickly lined up a low mileage replacement for my S2k which was stolen a week ago. It's a good car in Moonrock, but it does have a couple of sharp scratches - one on the boot lid and one on a sill. They seem quite prominent in sunlight - appearing to be to be showing the primer - but in shade not really that visible. They are very narrow, almost hair-like.
Does anyone have any experience removing these kind of scratches or can I be expecting to repaint? Sorry a bit difficult without pictures I appreciate! I've negotiated a discount with the seller. Seem to be mixed reports for chips away and the like - any opinions or recommendations for this sort of work in the Coventry area? I'm happy with the car apart from this and I need to sort transport pretty quickly. |
Whereabouts are you based, iv just had the rear arch on my Silverstone done, a good friend of mine has a body shop, immaculate results.

just assume the worst imo
the colour coat is thin on these cars so price in getting it painted |
Tookie - Coventry area.
Ok cheers - painting a freshly purchased car doesn't appeal too much! Maybe I'd live with it a while. |
If you can feel it with a finger nail it needs painting.

Could get away with just filling with paint (using small brush), sanding it smooth and polishing it. It'll be harder to notice but will still be there.

Ok thanks for the advice. I'll collect her soon and maybe I'll get her to a bodyshop. The scratches certainly show up more on a Moonrock than my old Silverstone, just because it's so much darker I guess.
