I have a scratch on my car that is fairly deep (fingernail definitely catches) and long, but I actually didn't notice my car had it until owning it for 3 months because of where it's located.
![]() It's on the lower part of the side panel below the door, when you're standing by the car it isn't even in your field of view, you can only see it from a distance. That said, I'm looking for the easiest solution to do this myself since it isn't on an obvious area such as the hood. Would a touch up pen, with a primer pen, rubbing compound, and clearcoat do the trick? I read online that the paint pen is only for small scratches, so I'm wondering if I can get away with using it on this scratch. If that won't cut it, what about this $70 kit? |

No way a pen fixes that... Looks to me like a sand, glazing putty, wetsand, prime, paint, and clear job. Luckily its not in a noticeable area, and you can re-spray the whole panel.
check out automotivetouchup.com for color matching spray bombs, $20 a can. Good luck with it.
