I had a scratch pen that worked pretty good on the G8. But after I took it to a body shop, they were able to buff it so well that you couldn't even tell where the scratch was. The pen by itself hid the 'whiteness' of the scratch, but you could still see where it was fixed. But the body shop just went a little further with the buffing.

BTW, anyone with a Stryker Blue G8 is welcome to have the rest of it for the freeness.

I'm also interested in having some stuff fixed on the Mustang, light scratches. I'll see how your experience goes.

if you're going to be keeping it, there are different ways to have stuff like this repaired.

what [MENTION=60]greasy[/MENTION] is looking for, imo, should be some shop to "airbrush" aka, just spray paint right onto the bumper, while it's on the car, without removing anything, only taping off portions, and not clear-wrapping.


what you'd be looking for, is for a shop to remove the bumper, repair the issue, and then clear wrap (cover the entire part) with clear coat.
