Dealer has touch up paint, or go to a automotive paint mixer and have them make you some. I went to Milwaukee Paint and they made me a spray can.

It also depends if the scratches are in the through the clear coat. Many times scratches can be cleaned up by using a little cut and some buffing. This almost always improves things, and then if needed, use the touch up. Many times scratches are from whatever you hit or hit you and will come off.

If you are concerned about doing this yourself, go to a body shop. If they are friendly they will even do it for you for free. Either way they will give you advice on what you can do. -- BTW don't go to Maaco.


Good luck,
