Well I bought the touch-up paint brush WDP from the Acura dealership. No one would let me know which is better. First I washed the damaged area with car washing fluid and warm water. I shoke the bottle vigrously, twisted the cap off and brushed off the extra paint on the rim of the bottle so it wouldn't run. I applied the brush with a tapping motion to the deep scratch until the entire area was covered up. The paint is raised a little but not noticable until you get extremely close to the area. From 1/2 foot you cant tell the scratch was there. I'm happy with the paint. It was very easy to put on. I also touched up my bumper it had a couple of chips. I wasn't going to spend more than a hundred dollars for that scratch. 6 dollars is more than enough.

the touch up paint brush is good for big areas, I tried the tooth pick suggestion mentioned on here on my scratch, but the paint never seemed to be able to get in the scratch, I ended up using a combination of a touch up pen and the brush to get my results.
I suggest getting this too. It has WDP paint on one side and clear coat on the other.

This will minimize touchup paint on the nonscratched area. Then after a minute or 2, peel off the tape. This will allow you to slop it on, but after peeling the tape off, the paint is on the scratched area only.
