Default Nasty deep scratch on the skin

Just couple days a go I managed to screw up something (hopefully more is not to come ).

I did two scratches, about 2 - 3 cm long, near rivet hole to the outer side of VS skin. So, they will be eventually problem at least when place should be painted. I guess I'll just have to grind it off and then finish with SB and live with it? In case there is small displacement after that, I guess there is some stuff which can be used to fill it before painting?

PS. Had my first RV(6) flight yesterday. It really goes as faaasst... and now I know why you are so interested about the autopilots and similar.

Default Don't Worry About It.

If its only a scratch, then a little extra primer should take care of it when you paint.
