Afternoon all

Unpacked my body panels yesterday to trial fit them and found several scratches in the black gelcoat
They're not that ddep but noticeable and wondered what was best to apply to hide them.

thanks

Send them back ?

I am no expert but this is what I would do.

Get some paint matched to the gel coat, use a fine brush and paint in the scraches, make sure that the paint is proud of the the surface and allow to dry.
Use 1000 grit paper then 1200 with a small sanding block and i meen small 5cm X 1 cm. and polish with a fine compound.

I did this on a friends guitar and it worked very well.

Pics would be good.

Agreed on the fine rubdown, but be careful, and go at it gently.
I then buff up with Black Colour Magic polish. (my panels are black!)

Just been doing that, as I have cut some vents in the bonnet and got a vew light marks on it.

wet cloth and farecla g3 first

Whats farecla g3? is it like Tcut, I need to give some serious attention to my second hand glass

In this month's Classic and Sports Car Magazine there's a review of polishing compounds and T-cut comes out top, with Auto Glym highly commended, if that's any use to you?
