Too bad about your ride gettin hit. That kind of crap kills, especially when you love your car! I tried touch up paint on a "deep" scratch on my old car and it never looked right either. Better on very small stone chips though because it's so contained and not spread out like a scratch.

That's funny because the same happened to me within week 1! I bought some blob remover at langka.com
Haven't used it yet because I have to buy some touchup paint, but the website is helpful and the reviews look promising.
Basically, you layer on a bunch of touchup paint, so it looks like a blob covering the scratch. Then you use the blob remover to soften the blob and smooth it out for a nice blend.

Yeah, nice find man! I'll have to try this out on the nice 4" scratch my g/f did to my rear bumper.
I kinda got sick watching his pics though... man that color is ugly!
It suits the RS-X very well...

Lol ya. I have a bad shave on my front bumper. Skimmed the paint off all the way to the plastic. Its actually not so noticeable because the paint is black, and the plastic underneath is black also. Eh.
