Id try the t cut first its much safer
Well, if it's a deep cut, the T Cut won't help.
Yes, I would advice Priming first, this has 2 benifits.
1. something to sand against
2. helps protect from rust.
Also my advice is to try and work in a largish area, this helps blend the paint in better.
Another option, is to take it to a speciallized shop, chips repears etc, are usually not that expensive.
Unfortunately, it will always look like you used a bottle of touch up paint with a brush even if the color matches perfectly. Best bet is to find a good body shop and let them take care of it, especially for the deep scratches. It the deep ones aren't done properly, that will be the place where the cancer of rust will start.
I personaly wouldnt use primer. As by the time you sand it down your area to paint will be larger, therefore drawing more attention to your repair. best way is to apply as little paint to your brush as possible or you will end up with large blobs. for a chip gently dab it with your brush. a scratch requires an even stroke. Personaly i would use an fine artists brush as the one with your kit are too large and apply too much paint. dont use the laquer until colour is dry as they blend together and change apperance. Good luck.
For small scratches: the T-Cut is a good option for those small scratches that the paint takes. It might not get out deep ones.
Stone Ships: buy from your Peugeot dealer the exact colour to match your car. You only need the paint. Using a brush that has only a few bristles on it take a dab of paint that has been thinned down and drop it into the chip. Avoid putting primer or lacquer in it as it'll fill out the hole even before you put the paint on. This will fill out the hole. When it's dry you can t-cut it if you want to but not right after or you'll pull the paint out.
Deep Scratches: Using a 'Chip Stick' (Halfords) fill in the scratches. To get a proper job done it may need a full panel spray, but this is difficult as the paint needs to be 'feathered' as you might notice the difference in colour of paint from one panel to another. Asking a specialist to do this will probably be expensive.
be careful, it always comes out looking like touch up paint
