Deep scratches that expose bare metal are serious, especially in older cars like Khyber, as they can quickly develop rust in Pakistans humid o r rainy conditions.

Steps to Repair:

Clean the area and sand around the scratch with 800–1000 grit sandpaper

Apply a rust converter if any rust is present

Use auto body filler if theres a groove

Apply primer, let it dry, and then paint using matching touch-up paint

Apply clear coat for protection and shine

Pro Tip: Always do this repair in a dry environment and avoid washing the car for 2–3 days after.
