Scratches on bodykit

TimSri

Hi,

I've scratched the paint off one of my irmcsher side scirts (Something in the raod last night!) :evil: There is no damage so it just needs painting over. I have a 2001 astra, is this colour called star silver? Does anyone no the exact paint code?

Thanks

Is this ok:

Here is the scratch, is it a DIY job?

vauxhall produced THREE star silvers :shock:

the code for your colour should be on the chassis plate 🙂

The scratch is not that bad, looks like only one layer been taken off, but i need some pointers as i am useless when it comes to body work. Is it just a case of putting a primer down and then painting over the scratch? Would it be best to take it to a bodyshop?

Thanks

for a perfect finish use a bodyshop

It should not be too expensive either 🙂
