Scraped the edge of the garage trying to move around packing tubs and I need someone to hep buff this out and touchup paint it. It doesn't have to be perfect but I want it to look a lot bettter.

The yellow in the picture is paint from the garage. There was a shop over off of county line by University or Colorado that fixed a similar issue on my wife's car and it looked 99%, unfortunately it doesn't look like thy're in business any longer.

Any recommendations in the Highlands Ranch / Littleton Area? We went to a body shop first for my wife's and they came back with a $3K quote, the other guys did it in about 30 min for $200 and if you didn't know it was there you'd never find it.

Thanks

I used this on a scratch that ran most of the length of my car:

Worked well, you have to really look to see it. But in your case, first I'd get some car polish to remove the yellow paint, and then see how much damage there actually is.

Some really fine rubbing compound and a soft terry cloth rag. Ease into it going in circles, and see how much blemish you can get off without a buffer wheel.

Try that first

3M makes some great stuff, and most larger automotive warehouses will have comparable products.

Try a fairly aggressive automotive polishing compound used for color/wet sanding first. This normally removes the paint and scratches from damage. Panel should look hazy after this. Then apply normal polish and buff to a shine. If this fails, wet sand with 1000/1200 grit sandpaper on a sanding block or other flat surface. Finish with 2000 grit, then use polish. You can buy everything you need at Painters Supply on Santa Fe Dr.

If you want to do it yourself, here is a kit you could buy that would be useful long term as well: http://www.chemicalguys.com/TORQ_10FX_Random_Orbital_Polisher_Kit_9_items_p/buf_501x.htm

If not I have all of the stuff and could help you out if you wanted. I'm in Littleton.
