well my advice i would say mask it as narrow as possable and primer it then 1500 sand primer 1500 sand get it filled in and flat with primer then rattle can it then 2000 sand it
-
I am one strongly against the use of rattle cans, depending on how deep the scratch is 1) deep scratch filler first sand and spray 2) if its not really deep go to a paint shop and get them to make u a touch up pen to match colour apply pen to scratch let dry build up a few coats doing this allow to cure for 48 hours then use a cutting compound to flatten. if your going to use a spray can be sure to mask above and below scratch and use maybe newspaper above and below, watch for that overspray

brianh i could agree on the clock spring if it was connected if u see my pic at start of thread it has beeut off. ive decided the best way to solve this problem is to go and salvage a airbag wiring loom from scrappies, no cutting and joining wires, and as for my mot i checked dvla website it isnt due till may lol so i have 2 mths to fix -
