Scraped the Fuchs
Hit the curb on my rear Fuchs on a tight road. There is a deep three inch scrape on the lip. Anyway to repair this or should I just replace? Is there a shop in the Maryland area?

what I do if it's not very deep
it can be sanded out with 320 w&d, then 400, then 600, then machine with Dupont red compound, then white compound, then polish.

the problem is the finish is anodized and polishing wont match older areas so you might remove anodizing, polish and re-anodize or there are tons of options like clearcoating and powdercoating which is suposed to turn cloudy like factory. its not easy or cheap and depends on how nice your car is and how particular you are. might be cheaper to buy a close match in good shape and sell the scratched one...?
