Paint Scrape Repair

Hey Guys!

Well this morning me and my garage had some words, and I scraped up against my garage with my front Fender Flare on my 96 limited. The flare is colored that dark grey. But Basically I would like to just remove the white paint from my garage that rubbed on the flare.

Any suggestions? Should I just use some water downed paint thinner? or is their an alternative produt that would work for this application?


thanks guys


Joe

go to wal-mart and get some scratch-out for $1.96 and some 100% cotton shop towels for $3.96. use the cotton shop towels and the scratch out to buff the paint rubs off. when you're done, wax it and you should be fine as long as the scratches aren't too deep.

Thanks for the Tip! Would they also carry that at like an autoparts store like Kragen or schucks? or is it a household product? Basically I am asking if I should look in the automotive area or home repair area.

thanks again.

automotive. i've found that the cheap scratchout or scratch away or whatever it's called is better than the meguiar's that costs 4x more.
