Angry A piece of road debris hit my hood, now there's scrapes! Help!

What would be the best way to get rid of paint scrapes? Is there a paint kit that I can do myself, that will eliminate the scrape? From the look of it is indeed a scrape, and cant be buffed out..HELP!

Scratch X?

Depends on how deep the scratches are.

yes scratch-x would probably be your best bet however pics would allow for better options.

Post up in the wash and wax section for someone with a porter cable, get them to buff it for you. You won't be able to repair the scratch if you can feel it with your nail, but they can minimise the appearance.

heh, those aren't that great... If you want farther detail, you should check out the Wash & Wax section. I would recommend buffing it out..that is the best way to do it.
