Wow, I am sure some people om the board could suggest methods, but in the end that looks like a good job for a body/paint shop unless you already have the skills/tools...

Otherwise, I assume some wet-sanding (never done it myself) and a multi-layered application of touch up paint MAY work.

I see a little blue paint transfer....Thats about as much as is going to come off.....Hit it with some polish before you take it anywhere. Theres also mobile body repair experts that will come to your place and touch up a "I had one too many's" (Boo Boohs).....

Those scratches are disgusting. Take them to a body repair shop, they know what's best for it. A friend just had bought a Mazda body kit, the dents on his car looks worse than that and is beyonf repair.

What ever happened?? Did you get the scratches out?

If it was me, I would have tried to rub them out with a not very aggresive compound first and see what happened. If its down to the primer, well then for sure you need professional help. If its just surface scratches in the clearcoat, you might be able to level them out and get them looking better. Let us know how you did, ok ? DanF

Could you post a few "after" pics? Thanks.

Similar lighting and angles would be great.
