If you really want to hide a scratch, it's a lot of work. apply a thick coat of touch-up paint, then wet sand it down so it's even with the rest of the surface, buff it with some compound, wax it. But if I have to tell you this you probably haven't done it before and you might not want to try it on your new civic.

<< touch up paint should have been in your glove box when you bought thte car >>
no touch up paint in my 2002 ex coupe, but i had a free cargo net in the trunk. i got my touch-up paint form handa-accessories.com for about $3

most don't come with touch-up paint, maybe that dealership did it as a courtesy, but most don't....i bought a little bottle of it for $6 when i bought my car. just go to a honda dealership.
