I have this deep scratch on the rear bumber about 3-4 mm deep and 2 inches across. The car is a white color so it is very noticible. How do I go about removing this scratch?

i've got the same deal on a white max except it's on the side of the right quarter panel. i don't know exactly. but i'm planning on eventually taking it to a body shop to do it right. in the interim, i'm gonna save money for springs and just do touch up and use the autopia method.

wow... 3-4mm deep? umm... i would most likely spend like $75-100 for a body shop to fix it. you'll need to fill it in and then paint over something that deep.

Purchase the factory touch up paint at Nissan. Then go to www.autosupermart.com and look for the touch up repair kit. I believe it is made by Langka....I've seen it 1st hand and it works. Your looking at 10.00 or less for paint and 24.00 for product with shipping from autosupermart. The only other true option is to repaint that piece and blend into surrounding finish. Body shops charge around $110.00 for this size damage.
