Touchup scratches

I have quite a few scratches on the doors of my 05 TSX. None of them are too deep. But, they are showing very well. Is there any way to touch them up without spending a lot at the body shop? I saw lot of touchup paints online but don't know how reliable they are how easy it is to apply. If any of you know what the best one is, I would really appreciate your input.

The best way i've seen it done is with factory paint in an airbrush gun. It spreads evenly and you can wet sand any over spray away. Dont try using the touch up brush paint in airbrush gun though.

Before using paint I would try a correcting polish used with a ROB (random orbital buffer).

I would search the Wash & Wax section in Off Topic. I remember a number of threads dealing with how to touch up scratches.

Automotivetouchup.com has a variety of products for paint touch-up. I am finishing up my 'matching mudguard' paint job using their aerosol can paint for my SSM 05 tsx. An excellent color match.
