touch up paint
 
anybody ever use touch up paint and done a good job. some ****er at my school keyed my car and i need to touch it up. its a little area like the size of a couple nickles. damn i find out who shits gonna pop off. but anyways. anybody try using touch up paint to fix something like this without making it look even worse.

i have had to use touch up paint, it worked pretty well, i waxed the section that i touched up after the paint had dried and it looks good.

Clean it real good before you use it, use primer, overfill the scratch with paint then use super ultra mega fine 2000+ grit wet sand paper to get it back down level. Buff, wax and go.

Does the touch up paint from the dealer have a big difference from the ones you can get at Kragen's?

what he said....also..if u go to a dealer..which you probably still have the warranty for your car... and ask them if they will fix it for you.. sometimes they will...

how deep are they? can you get your finger nail caught in them? if they arent very deep you can buff them out.
