Default Scratched my car

My mind was occupied because of some personal family issues going on. There's a pole right next to my parking spot. I was 90% cleared and the very end of my car ended up scratching across over the wheel base. I have some scratches now that are not fun to look at. Any tips on how to get some touchup paint and fix it so it doesn't look as bad?

Some jerk also rear ended my car when I was parked on the street one day. And left scratches there too. I only noticed when I went to work in the morning.

So sad.

I'd try the dealer.

1) click the colors tab
2) then click the color match chart and scroll down to scion and pick your color it gives you the color number you need to match your car if you want touch up paint then head to an advance auto parts, auto zone somewhere where you can get the paint

hope this helps!

You can get touch up paint, and clear coat from the dealer. I had to get some for a nice shiner on the front of the hood near the emblem. I think it was about $25 for both. Took about a week or so to get it. It's got a pen on end of the applicator, and a brush on the other.
