Repairing Scratches and Dents on the Bodywork

Model: Audi A5 8T8, 8T3, 8T, 8F - Years 2007-2016
Part: Body

Small scratches on the bodywork are relatively easy to repair. Start by gently sanding the damaged area with 150-grit sandpaper to make the surface smooth and clean from oils and grease, using a solvent as well. Protect the area not involved in the touch-up with tape. Using two-component body filler, carefully mix the two components, then evenly spread the mixture over the treated area. Once the filler has set, sand it carefully to achieve a smooth and even surface; if necessary, add more filler, particularly in any depressions. Repeat the sanding process. Protect the areas not involved in painting with paper and tape, then using acrylic paint and primer in a 2:1 ratio, repaint the treated area.
