Long scratches along the driver side.What's best way to cover it ?

Seems like someone was walking by my truck either keyed it or had alot of stuff in their hand and scatch it, goes all the way to the gas cap to the driver door. Also it's not like just one long line,it's like one long line and bunch of small(maybe 6in the biggest) ones along the way.It doesn't look too deep though,but you can tell something happen. So I was wondering what can I do to cover it up without repainting it ? It's a 2 tone color,black paint and greyish on the bottom.


You know what sucks though ? I always make sure when I park I pull in the middle of the spot ,and if don't get it the first fews times i'll find another spot.I always try to park in the back at stores.Kinda upsetting someone has to do something so damn stupid like this,and it's going cost me money.


Also how much do paint jobs run for at the dealerships ? Would it cost more if i wanted to change to color to blue ?

im pretty sure dupli-color makes something you could use, its a fine line pen and you can get clear coat to go over it also in a fine line. give it a little wet sanding and polish it. if your not sure about it im sure if you took it to a detail shop they might be able to do something for you.

Try a little colour match Wax too that might help. Sorry to hear about it. If it's a really big scratch sometimes your insurance will cover it for Vandalism. Not sure on that though...

Rubbing compound did a pretty good job,i would recommend it to everyone unless your scratches are deep.
