Default Scratched Interior! Help!

I was cleaning out the interior of my tib, and I looked in the back and saw a big scratch on the side interior near the rear speaker! I was so upset, it is huge and I have no idea who or what did it. It was either one of my "friends" or possibly my huge hockey bag I have to squeeze in there every once in a while. But anyways, does anyone know what I can do to kind of "hide" the scratch or buff it out or anything like that? It's a deep scratch and I need to get rid of it!!

I don't think that there is anything you can do to remove that deep scratch... sad.gif
Only thing I can think of rightn now is to paint that scratch to at least make it black... but it won't look good. The perfect way to remove it is... to replace the whole thing. But that will cost too much money.

Sand it down to remove the sharp edges and level out the area. Then paint over it.

That's about all you can do.

Is there a specific type and color of paint that I use for the interior to make it look like the original color?

But if you sand it down, wouldn't it look really bad? I mean, the surface, where the scratch is, is not flat surface.

Can I suggest a Decal? Maybe on both sides to match?

Yeah, I will try to get a picture of it up as soon as I can. Besides, I have been meaning to get some photos of my car anyways, I can post them up sometime too. But how much of a risk is this for a first timer like me? If there is a good chance to totally ruin the interior, then I would rather leave the scratch. Thanks!
