I agree with you, I had the kit done on my 92 and I have scaped it a few times, just try not to crack it. That is my biggest fear

touch up paint (correct coded for ur car), 3m Fine cut rubbing compund, 2 clean cloth rags, 3m Hand glaze, 1 hour.

Apply the paint to scratch and level it out its okay if its a bit higher than the body paint. Let dry, few more coats till scratch is gone. let dry agian. put a small amount of the rubbing compound on cloth and rub with the scratch, dont rub too hard, and dont get the rubbing compound in area's you dont need. after the scratch is level, use hand glaze in circular motions to shine it. Done.

yeah i got my a couple of times too but i'm gonna repaint it anyway. I'm looking into something mainly for the front and the parts where the wheel kicks up all the dirt. It's starting to chip the paint all to hell. Maybe 'cause i live in the country might have something to do w/ it seeing as they don't fix the road but once every 30 yrs.. Maybe some ABS plastic, black, that way it's not as noticeable and can be 3M to the kit. As for the front the same thing that way the only thing your scraping is the plastic. What do you's think?

if u scraped the bottom its not that important just becarefull not to break the kit but if u want just put touch up paint

Just get some touch up paint to match your color and sand and prep it first. My damn car has touch u paint everywhere.

if it's not in a place that's really noticeable, then maybe put a layer or two of that clear bra stuff just to help protect the bottom...(just an idea...might work/help)

Is it the front valances? cus' the bottom portion ALWAYS will get scratched up (i've painted my camry valance twice already, meaning they are on their 3rd paintjob!). not bad for them being on since 1999! the rest are still originals.

Edit: :Raiseshands: third houson dude here...
