I was thinking about some kind of pen or crayon etc. but the scratches are probably to deep for that  :|

We've got companies in the UK who will come to your house or workplace and do minor repairs like that, they are usually part of a national network called Chips Plus (the one I use) or Dents Away.

The folks I use repair a panel for £60 (panel being one wing, door, bonnet, boot, alloy wheel, bumper etc)

You not got anything like that in Iceland :?:

Brian's right. There's an international company called "chipsaway" which I'm sure have a franchise in the Nordics (is that a word?). They come to you.

I feel your pain and anger, my young feathered Hemmi  :geek:

Hi Hemmi,

In Tassie you can take a piece of your car (eg. say trapdoor of fuel filler or something else removable) and some paint places can match your exact colour and put it in a spray can.

Because of where it is if you sanded it very lightly with very fine "wet & dry" emery paper (you might call it something else) then cleaned it thoroughly in that area to remove any wax it should come up ok with  a few light coats of spray and then a couple of clear coat. Just try to do the minimum area while feathering the edge into the existing paint.

I did this once on a silver Honda civic I used to own and the next owner who just happed to be my friends sister-in-law never picked it.
