How to repair the paint?
Just noticed that there's a scuff and a few lines where the paint is off. Seems like some ppl hit my rear end in a parking lot. Is there anyway to make it look not too noticeable? Appreciate your advice

Ahh, sorry I didn't see the bigger scratch, only noticed the surface scuffing. Yes that's a fill-in job, a touch-up pen might do it in theory but reality is it never works well. Still it'll be better than nothing, just do your best to keep the paint inside the area and not slopped over the edges. And yeah you can sand down some later.
Check out some videos on it, reduce your learning curve a little. |

I know most body shops near me would repaint that for £150 - £200. Assuming it's not a beater I would call it a no brainier to get it done right, annoying yes but I think if I did it it would look like a blindfolded dog had attempted the repair and would look worse than the scratch.
