Hey everyone,

Recently installed dark wood colored floating LVF in our duplex and it turned out beautiful. Only problem is, the scratches are REALLY noticeable. Anyone have any cheap ways to cover up those light colored scratches on dark wood colored vinyl? THANKS!!!

-btw, posted this in the "do it yourself" section and then realized this was prolly a better option... don't mean to plaster it everywhere! Thanks again!

Hey Will, thanks for the reply. The floors are a brand by floor and décor here in south florida, and color is dark walnut. Unfortunately they are dark enough that the brillow just makes a rough, light spot when I try that. Really just considering getting a dark brown sharpie at this point...

 Oh I see.  Actually, a sharpie isn't that bad if it's a rental. The point is to get it rented and look nice when showing.  If the scratches start showing up later the tenants can probably put a rug down or something.  As long as everything else is in decent shape you should be alright.Remember it's a rental!

I've done touch ups and things like that and they work wonders.  Floors- especially wood looking floors- often have scrapes, blemishes etc, sometimes it's part of the wood grain, other times it's from use and abuse.

I don't think for a rental it will be that bad to just touch up. Unless it's really high end and you're getting $3k+ rent per month then I'd worry ;)
