Wrong forum.

Use scratch X, or learn to use touch up paint, or look up www.colorworks.ca(com?)

if it's a deep scratch none of that touch up stuff will work...
you'll need to fill it up and than get it painted again

i'd first try and use the touch up paint from honda. the directions say apply a thin coat of paint to the area, and wait for it to dry. basically you repeat this process as many times as it takes until the scratch is "back to its normal height." hey its the cheapest fix for now right??? just becareful not to do a crappy job and keep your hands steady.
