    Long time, no post...The above photo was snagged from Reddit where the owner installed the side stripes to cover some superficial damage which got me thinking: what would you do if you scratched your MX-5 (not necessarily the new 2016 but any gen)? If you’ve got the time it’d be cool to see what you’d do to cover up a slight scratch. Oh, and please answer even if you don’t have a Mazda, a Miata or even if you don’t have a car at all.

    Yes it has been a long time. How have you been?

    I like what they did with that. Did he put up pictures of the scratches before hand? I owned a detail shop so the first thing I do is inspect it to see if I can buff it out. I didn't see that option in the survey so I haven't voted yet.

    It would all depend on the location. I have seen pictures of vehicles with a vinyl band-aid decal that they put over damage. With the Jeep I could really put decals anywhere because Jeeps normally end up with some anyway. Could be an excuse to put Gearhead Central right down both sides of the Jeep. :cool:

    But my first thing is always to see if I can remove it. Then if not I look at it to see if I can touch it up (so I just voted that I would paint it. But I wouldn't get the paint from ebay).
