Another one down, black Hyundai Forte Hood


 

On this Hyundai Forte, there are fine scratches that look like they where made by a steel wool. I did the least aggressive method first and attempted to "cut and buff" to no success. 

The only other solution was to repaint over the damage. The scratches were not deep enough for primer, however, it took wetsanding with 400 then 600 to level the area to where painting can core the damage. 
(The picture above is how it looked after wetsanding).




This is the finished product. It took 3 medium coats to cover the scratches. 

After two coats of clear and a cut and buff, this vehicle was good to go.

Note:  The front bumper was spotted aswell. 

Lessons learned: 
1.  Black covers quickly and easily 
2.  Color matching is easier
3.  Black scratches are easier to see :)
