Answer 1

Blood from the guy who did it.

Answer 2

Black nail polish works.

The small touch up kits available at an auto parts store work better.

I wouldn't get an entire paint job for a single scratch. You'll get a lot more so may as well wait until you're either fixing a new scratch or refreshing an old repair job almost every day.

Oh, wait, that's just me - those tree branches tend to add custom pin striping to my Jeep. In fact, if I get a particularly long scratch on one side, I intentionally drive really close to a tree on the other side just to even out the number of pin stripes.

Answer 4

Usually small scratches on the clear coat can be filled in with a scratch remover and rubbing compound along with an orbital buffer to help blend it. Some companies make special waxes for black/dark cars and the wax itself is a dark color and helps fill and mask slight scratches.

Before reading, please note:
BE CAREFUL WITH PAINT PENS! To start the flow of paint, gently tap the paint pen on a hard surface to start the paint flowing. Make sure you shake the paint pen thoroughly. If you push and hold the paint pen down, all the paint will flow out of the tube creating a mess! OK.. now read on...

1. Clean area with dish soap & water. Dry completely.
(The point here is to rid the area of any wax, grease, and other oil based surface contaminates.)

2. Prime any unpainted areas with a primer paint pen. Apply 2-3 coats 10-15 minutes in between primer coats. Sand the primer smooth with 600 wet sandpaper in as little as 2 hours.

3. Apply touch up paint. Use thin light coats and let dry between coats. Do not try to cover the scratch with one coat and remember to depress the paint pen off the vehicle to start the paint flowing. Wipe the excess paint off the tip before applying. Use as many coats as necessary to cover the area leaving 10-15 min. minimum between light coats. Allow 1 hour to overnight for base coat to dry.

4. Apply clearcoat. 2-3 coats using a dabbing motion waiting 15-20 minutes in between coats. Be gentle with the brush because you do not want to disturb the undercoats. Use a light dabbing motion.

5. Once the clear has dried, you can apply rubbing compound to smooth and shine the area. You should clean both paint pen tips with lacquer thinner.

Well I would NOT reccommend following the commercials and use a black sharpie mini!! Ususally you can go to Wal-Mart or something and they have touch up paint, although it doesnt really work all that well.....but it looks a little better than a scratch!

Answer 10

Just take it to a dealer, they should be able to give you a small sample of the same paint and you can do it your self. Or they may charge you like 10 bucks, no big deal! DO NOT USE A SHARPIE!!

Answer 11

you need to take it to a paintshop. All other methods will wear over time. Touch up paint rusts. Sharpies wear out, and the same is true for nail polish.
