I've heard sanding it down a little works, and then adding some paint or something along the lines of that?

Can you put your finger nail into it?

Dad had a similar scratch on his bike a while back.

Fill, sand lightly, fill, sand lightly, paint lightly until it looks natural.

Can only see it now if your really looking for that specific bit of damage.

dr colorchip is the route i'd go. it'll take you AGES mind, but it'll work out in the end.

Cheers, I will have a look! But I don't see how it will work with such a deep scratch!?
It's gone through the primer, Dr Colour is for small paint chips?

I might just take it down to the local garage and see if they can fill it in with something?

Thanks!

...fortunately it wasn't the bumper, it was on the left side of the car.

Black is almost impossible to get a colour match on.

My mum reversed and to the left side of the car there was a huge plant pot, and she reveresed and the left side of the car scraped along it - the body on top of the tyre.

What makes you say that?

Black is one of the easiest colours to match, it is silver that is the nightmoare.
