A cheap option that you might try is to buy a "T-Cut Polish" that is of a colour like your own.

It tries to apply colour as well as polish > blends in.

Might be at K-Mart or Supercheap.

so its not like polyglase or kittens heavy duty cut and polish?

No it's actually a polish with tint in it.

I've used it on a red Mazda before that was scratched up by a cat. The red "T-Cut" polish blended over 85-90% of the scratches. It would then need sealant over the top to harden.

Once you've used the white or silver coloured "T-Cut" polish to match & cover up the blemish > buy some sealant from Auto 1 or equivalent.

The salesman will know what a sealant is.

You only apply a little bit. A few drops go a long way.

Let the sealant harden for 2-3 days, then finally apply wax (Canauba)

If you don't apply sealant, the chances are, that coloured polish you applied can gradually come off.

Is it a solid white? Or metallic? If its solid, honestly, get a tin of ur paint mixed up at autobarn, $30 and a sheet of 1200 wet n dry. Scuff up the bar, lightly, mask up, spray, and let dry. No blending required. Its white. Guaranteed to fix the marking. Allow to set for 48hrs, light rub with the same sheet of 1200 then polish. If its a 32, the white code is more than likely 326....did this to my baby a few times.

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
