If they are light white scratches you might be able to buff them out at a body shop, try that first before touch up paint

i have a black sedan and i some how got a white "scratch" on it. i think its cuz a shopping cart scrapped it. anyway, my friend works at a body shop and he gave me some sort of compound, i dont know what its called. i rubbed it with my bare fingers for 3 min and poof* the white "scratch" dissapeared. so just bring it to a body shop if youre in the same situation i was in. good luck

I don't know the severity of the scratches, but first always try that Scratch Remover stuff you can get at Autozone. On little scratches, it actually works really well. If the scratch went through the primer though... touch up paint because it doesn't have clear coat on it, it looks really ugly. It is hard to get it to blend in even remotely with the color of the rest of the car

Some body shops sell paint to the public.
If it is nighthawk black pearl, tell them you need paint
for Honda B92P
They will be able to mix it up and sell you a pint for about $25.00
Good Luck!
