Suggestions on fixing a scratch and dent?

**M&P** · 12-01-2013, 01:07 PM

I unfortunately got two scratches on the door of my 2012 Jeep SRT8 and am trying to find the best way to go about fixing them. The door handle and the door both have some pretty deep concrete scrapes (pictures below). The one on the door line is also indented a bit but hard to see in the photos.

Does this look like something that can be fixed without a body shop? I was looking into the dr. color chip and other scratch repair kits but these seem more like scrapes than scratches to me, if that makes any difference.

I'm hoping to find a good way to pull the small dent and repair the scratches. Any suggestions?

Yikes. Touch up paint really won't do too much. Like it will "hide" it a little. But it will always be noticeable. Get it fixed properly.

Time for the bodyshop.

The first scratch will for sure require a body shop. The second picture almost looks like it is just paint transfer. It is hard to tell over just a picture.

The one on the door looks like the crease is flattened slightly. With dent dent out and some touch up I could hide them both but with a good look you would still see them. I fixed this scratch in this DTS Caddy after I had the dent guy at my work remove the waves in the metal. It took me 1.5 hours of buffing with a PC to get these results. I didn't want to work too fast and get the paint hot. The customer was ecstatic at the results. He had a quote of 850 to paint the fender as it was pearl white. With the dent repair and my full deatil he had 350.00 in everything.
