Attached is a photo of a scratch in the front wing of my 993 that was put there by some careless bas*ard last week. It's a deep scratch so T Cut didn't help. Any thoughts on how best to fix it? Should I try a smart repair or can a bodyshop do this without a full panel respray? Advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve32 developed and gave an excellent description of a system that sounds good and works for him. It's here:-

Worth a try!

 
That looks like the clear coat has been scraped off, but it's not a great photo so I can't be sure. If that's the case, a body shop should be able to repair it quite cheaply. I've never used a smart repair man but it may be possilbe that a good one could also repair it.

Whereabouts are you? If near Reading I know a very good paint man otherwise I'm sure people on here will be happy to recommend someone closer.
 
Thanks. I've tried Chipex but that didn't do it. I'm in Central London by day, Radlett Hertfordshire eves and weekends.
