so i was at the supermarket and slowly driving by leaving the parking lot. some lady slams her cart to some gate that opens up and scraps the side of my car. now i have a foot longscratch on the side of my car after a day of waxing and cleaning. do you guys have any suggestions on what to do to the scratch without repainting?

Depends on how deep the scratch is... there are a few DIYs floating around but I think they only work for certain types of scratches.

It depends on how deep of a scratch it is. If it is down to bare metal only a repaint will make it go away.

That all depends on how much work is needed. Shouldn't be a whole lot. Depends on how much they have to blend the paint. GO TO A VERY GOOD BODY SHOP! I can not stress that enuff. A bad blend job with haunt you everytime you look at that side of the car. What color is the tC?
