Small scratches on the bodywork are fairly simple to repair. Start by gently sanding the damaged area with a grinder using 150-grit sandpaper to make the surface smooth and clean from oils and grease, also using a solvent.

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 compound over the previously treated area.

Once the filler has cured, sand carefully to make the surface smooth and even; if necessary, add more filler, especially in the 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.
