so i was installing my m3 style lip spoiler today and while i was doing a final "press down" for the adhesive, i was running my thumb along and something must have been on it, because i got these two nasty scratches on my spoiler (thank god it wasn't really on my car).

anyone have any suggestions on what i could do about the scratches?

i tried using meguiars paint cleaner, but they were too deep for it to do anything about them.

is there a specific touch-up paint that any of you use for a carbon grey pearl? can i get factory colors of touch-up from my dealer?

any suggestions would be great. thanks in advance. here is a pic of the scratches



p.s. they run nearly the full length of the spoiler. my girlfriend noticed them as i was doing it, but not until i was practically all the way across.

p.p.s. the color matching on this is GREAT. too bad i messed it up. if you want one of these, i highly recommend xenonspecialist on ebay.

 

Could it be the clear coat that was scratched? You might be able to fix it with some clear coat scratch remover.

Btw, I have also installed the xenonspecialist lip spoiler today. The length of the spoiler is perfect from edge to edge of the trunk. However, the CG finish on mine was a little lighter and there are some surface scratches on it.

Having purchased both the sabersport and xenonspecialist lip spoilers, I have to say the xenonspecialist one is much better in length, flexibility, packaging and it's pre-painted.

 

that is some kick ass color matching. did it come prepainted?

 

it sure did. xenonspecialist on ebay. if you want one of these spoilers, he's the guy to get it from.

 

i tried getting the scratches out with some swirl remover, but it was much too deep for that. i can feel the scratches pretty easily. i think they might be pretty bad.
