I just got a new black ’94 Honda Accord EX coupe about a month
ago, and someone has already keyed it. Safe to say I am just a
*tad* pissed off. Anyway, in this day of technological
breakthroughs, someone is bound to know how to fix key scratches
without painting the car. The scratches have damaged the
clearcoat to some degree, leaving a white streak in the paint. I
got most of the scratch out by buffing and wet sanding, but there
are still parts too deep to take out this way. Is there a way of
covering them up so they can’t be seen without getting real
close? Maybe something like airbrushing, or applying thinned
paint with a toothpick, etc. . . I’ve had a few suggestions about
maybe applying thinned (reduced) OEM paint using an ultra-thin
artist brush, and then sanding down to the surrounding paint
level. The reason I do not wish to paint the car is because it
never looks the same afterwards; I would rather just look at the
scratch. Apparently the reason why you can’t just mask off and
paint a section of a panel is because today’s polyurethane paints
don’t dissolve to form a chemical bond with the surrounding
paint, like enamel and lacquer paints used to. If someone knew
how to get a safe and effective solvent for polyurethane that
would allow them to do this, that would be great! What do I do?
