I'd have to laugh, or I'd cry! I've had no luck with this car at all!!

Had it a whole year this week or last. Purchased from Watsons of Airdrie for £2700
Next few weeks went fine, till a Taxi hit the back of me in George Square one night, £750 worth of damage....took months to sort out...taxi company ended up paying.
A long dent appeared on my back door, really sharp, white paint exchanged.
Someone scuffed the corner of my front bumper
MAF sensor went during the summer, ran fine, really intermittant, fault only came on when I booted it sometimes. Got it fixed then the Crank sensor went, leaving me stuck right at the end of the M74!
Then this week for the MOT it needed new rear brakes and a handbrake cable!

My last corsa i had for 6 months, needed a center section and petrol!! I miss it! :-[

terrible! Unbelievebale! Appalling!  Firstly, they can't scratch staright but then they pick a GLS!!!! Com,e on vandals, if you are going to scratch the car, do it proerly and pick a CDX at least!

Muppets!

Now, hopefully that has cheered you up almost as much as cunjouring up an image of Margaret Becket pole dancing whilst Anne Whiticombe does a bit of sword swallowing in the crowdf (if you know what I mean!)

Yes the tablets are strong tonight, but at least you didn't suffer -seeing those two perform! I'd better not mention the Alsation and lady Thatcher then!

And yes, you can spray some paint into a cap and use it......it generaly works better than touchup as it has more thinners in it.

As a first go, get some touchup paint (VXs own is usualy best and cheapest) and using the colour and a cocktail stick apply a few layers of colour (leavean hour or so between coats). Then rub any that has spilt over the edges of the scratch with 1200 wet and dry wet (once its fully gone off i.e. a week)).

Repeat with the laquer and finaly cut it to a bright finish........it wont be perfect but will be hard to spot unless you look very closely.
Well worth a try before running into the expense of a professional repair the main thing is to be patient whilst you build up the layers of paint and laquer,to get a good depth  and as Mark says make sure the paint has hardened properly before you attempt to cut it. A drop of washing up liquid in your water help with the cutting process and helps prevent the wet and dry clogging. Good luck  :y
