Lower Valance repair
Hey guys and girls, Issue here as i bought this car used is that the previous owner has left some markings on the lower valance, especially on the rear bumper , and i was wonder if there was a way to remedy this. Here is a picture of some of the deep scratches.

The valance is hard to say given the rougher texture. It can be painted, but not sure about gouge removal.

If its not too deep or you feel like doing some DIY, you could wetsand, fill in and paint with matching paint. I won't look exactly like the pros but it will be close

750$ is quite expensive for me haha, im already spending money on some exhaust piping, I was also planning on wetsanding and painting, but im a chicken and usually wont do anything that will damage the visual aspect of the car haha , these scratches are all over the valances thou, so i will eventually have to paint or get it painted..

you could take it to some who repairs cars in your neighborhood doesn't have to be too fancy and they'll know how to fix it up for you, and for good price it just needs a good paint job on the bumper and it'll be good to go

You may find a small shop who can do it within your budget.

True i just dont know what colour to paint them haha, cant seem to find the same grey hue. Also since i rather have it not shine , i was thinking of no clear coat after i painted them to have a matte look, think this will be fine? or should i still do a layer or 2 of clear coat?

With a decent clear coat on top, you can always buff out minor scratches.

Duplicolour products were what im going to use. My valances are not the same colour as the body, they are a Matte grey colour so im going to try and keep it as similar as possible. im gonna post my progress on here once i get started lol
