Default Scuff mark on radiator support....anyway to remove or have to paint?

Ok seeings I put up a post about a scuff on my seat I figured I would just go with this. I also have a scuff on my radiator support. Is there anyway to buff it out? Or do you have to paint these things?

The scuff here looks more like it is white but it is not. Its just a scuff mark that nicked up the plastic shroud. I tried using some polish or rubbing compounds and once again...the Mr Clean Magic Eraser...nothing has worked.

If the plastic shroud isn't the same color all the way thru.....your stuck.

The mark may be the material inside showing thru, in that case it will need to be painted or dyed again.......

I don't know for sure so, don't give up yet......

Check another small section in a spot that isn't noticable or wait for some other forum members to help out......

Good luck............

it does look like the plastic is scared abit, a plastic trim restorer like Poorboys might help lessen it abit but wont remove it.
