Hey guys I'm new here and already have a problem :chuckle

I have a 04' Mazda 3. I accidentally scratched my front bumper without knowing...and there are a few little scratches all around my car which I didn't bother to fix before. http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=kevinlo423&b=32764&f=1503892219&p=63http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=kevinlo423&b=32764&f=1503892220&p=64http://tw.rd.yahoo.com/referurl/wretch/album/user/lastphoto/*http://www.wretch.cc/album/album.php?id=kevinlo423&book=32764&page=4

and this huge scratch on the front bumper..http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=kevinlo423&b=32764&f=1503892221&p=65

I did a little research online and on the forum. Is this thread (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=17873) a good "how to" to repair it? or should I buy touch up paint from Paintscratch.com (http://www.paintscratch.com)? Or should I get the Quixx Paint Scratch Remover?

Sorry for all the questions but I kinda regret not repairing the little scratches but I do love my car and I needa give it back :headbang

I could probably fix all of that damage for you. The bumper damage is something I would leave to a body shop as they have the proper equipment and experience to blend it properly. The deep scratches in the first two pictures are something that I can fix for you. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. I can put you in contact with a good shop to fix the bumper damage as well.

Have you posted on M3F? www.mazda3forums.com , you will probably have more success finding something there. instead of a DIY i rather leave it to a professional, i'm sure you can find someone local there

good luck!

I went into a auto part shop today and they said that for the little scratches I can buff it out? But I'll probably leave the big one to professionals if there is no way to repair it myself.

Where in the States do you live? I can find a skilled detailer in your area to help you.

Hey Kaval, if you fix it, would it be a permanent fix, or a temporary cover up?

I had some scraches on my passenger side, and I kinda brushed some touch up paint on it, which made it look weird lol.

It would be more of a permanent fix. The damaged area would be prepped with paint, left to dry, then sanded, compounded, polished and sealed.
