RE: Scratched... Now what?

I looked at it again today with a little less emotion. I can only see the scratches while kneeling or when stepping 15+ feet away. I asked my wife to look over my car and see if she found 'what was wrong.' She didn't notice it until I pointed it out. Therefore, I won't put lots of time and money into it... at least not yet. I will lower the car and see what happens. Like Bloflin mentioned, I would hate to have it professinally painted now only to scratch it again in 2 weeks.

On the plus side... The first scratch is always the most painful. Now that it's happened, I can move on.
Good, don't do anything, it's already scatched so just move on, sorry to said this but since you are lowering your SLK and possibly getting the Kleeman lip, many many more scatches to come. Every 2-3 years you can get it repainted, too bad you are not here in Colorado, I know a guy here that does a great job for a known body shop and he usually paint it on the side for 150-200 bucks. I pretty much name my price. Every time I come in, he would ask me "how much to get it painted?", I give him a reasonable price and he accepts it. It never fails. [:D]
