Scratches and chips are common on off-road vehicles like the Hilux. Here’s how you can repair them:

For Minor Scratches: Use a scratch remover compound o r a polishing kit to buff out light scratches.
For Paint Chips:
Clean the affected area.
Apply touch-up paint using a fine brush o r a paint pen.
Allow it to dry and finish with a clear coat.
For Deep Scratches: Sanding, priming, and repainting may be necessary. Professional repair might be the best option.
For Large-Area Damage: If multiple panels are affected, a professional respray o r wrapping may be required.
