You could always get new body panels......or depending on how deep the scratchs are you could buff them out if there not deep

if its regular, light rubbing compound

if iots deep, take it to the deal. they did mine for $40 and it was for 3 scratches. i've gotta go back cuz some asses at school keep doin it so now it's $70 cuz i got a buttload and deep

Anyone tried using the dealer touch-up paint? I noticed they have a "gob remover", too, that's supposed to keep the paint from being noticably raised over the top of the scratch...

I knocked a broom over in my garage the other day and it gouged the side of my car... dammit...

Another thing that works for hiding 'em is color-cured wax. I used that on my old black car and it hid scratches better than regular wax. I don't know if it comes in camoflauge green, though...

I never had any luck with the colored wax :( A black magic marker matched my paint better than the stuff I got from ford!! :wink:
