Hey all,
A friend of mine bought a used Kubota Utility 4 wheeler. He dropped off the hood hoping I can help him out. Tons of overspray and scratches. I'm going to try and post some pics. It's molded color plastic.
My question is this. Am I able to sand down these scratches and polish it with a rotary? Or should I just try and polish it? I'm also worried about heat build up. I've never sanded and or polished color molded plastic before so any help would be great. Thanks!!

Thinking of trying the "heat gun " method.

I can't really make out the first 3 photos. Hard to see how bad the scratches are.

I would think a rotary would work. Keep your working process to as little as possible to keep heat down. Do you have a DA (depending on scratches - since I cant see the photos well) I would start with the lease aggressive method first.

I also went to there site real quick and found out you can order paint from them too...maybe a repaint or touch up bottle could be ordered.
