advise needed on 2 specific car repairs...

Idioteque

Hi all,

Any help on the below issues would be greatly appreciated...

1.There are some longs scrapes running along on of the black plastic side panel on one side of my car. What's the best way to fix? some sort of paint?

2.There's a few specs of dried in cement on the coloured front bumper. (A cement truck spilled out cement accidentally bout a year ago and when it hit the road, some of it splashed up onto my bumper. Unfortunately I didn't realise until I had parked my car 45mins later. I managed to brush off most of it at the time but obviously missed a few specs)

Thanks in advance!

1) if you're talking about the mouldings on the door, i think most of them are relatively easily changed- maybe the scrapyard is the best option. i've never known anyone to repair them but usually they're okay if you keep them clean with back to black or similar.

2) what i'd try to do is tap it until it breaks off. chances are if you can break up the concrete until it's gone you can compound and polish any scuffed paint underneath. i don't know if concrete will mark or burn the paint.

that's what i would do but if anyone has a better idea....
