Don't you just hate inconciderate gobshites who do things like that and drive off.

I would try t-cut first to see how much is actually through the paint.

A carefully used touch up stick will hide most of it.

Alternative is someone like chips away or one of the other mobile dent/chip removal companies.

Aye im off tomorrow so ill give it ago, doesnt look as bad in the pic so hopefully itll be easily covered up

That is my pet hate.......GRRRRRRR

As Deano says a touch up stick can work well. Get plenty paint on then smooth it off with some t-cut when it is dry.

Good luck!

I wouldn't, use T'cut as it's to abrasive for a clearcoat finish, its designed for single stage paint and it'll scratch the remaining clearcoat, better trying a scratch remover first..

I had something similar but on the rear bumper but i used some G3 cut compound with a machine polisher and topped it up with some polish and when i was happy a coat of wax for a nice clean look

I can't understand why people recommend chips away.

You wouldn't gloss a door out side in the wind and rain. So why paint ypur car outside.

Paint needs to be applied in a controlled environment. Or as usually the case with chips away it breaks Down a month or two later

Oh and there not actually cheap

Quite a few of our company cars have been sorted by chips away - none have complained yet.
They turn up with a portable work booth and work on the car inside it. Even have IR heaters for faster paint drying.

Agreed they are not cheap.

just got the time to have a good look at it, all but a wee bit of it is right threw the paint to the body work so ill have to have a go with the touch up pen.

Ill take a run over to the seat dealership tomorrow to get the pen and to see what they recommend doing, im raging only had the car 4 months and this has happened already!!!!!!!!!!
