minor stuff like that i really dont like to use that pen...if you can take it to the body shop, i know it sounds kind of drastic, but those pens leave like a raised line where you apply it...i personally dont like it...id rather spend a few bucks on taking it to the body shop and getting it fixed...or you could just leave it like it is...a scratch adds charecter lol!

I tried it... but it was the paint that you get from Autozone... lol... it didn't match very well so i just took it off again by scratching it off with a flat head screwdriver... oh well... i don't recommend it... with taking it to the body shop... its a lot better and if they don't match it you can take it back a million times until they do... you are paying them for the work so they have to get it right... regardless...

That's just too true... But it happens with any touch up paint. Wish I had know then before I did it...

Either take it to a shop and get it fixed or if the scratches are real thin buy some regular white car paint from WalMart and use that. It actually does a better job then the touch up paint I got from PaintScratch.
