    paint job

    can any one tell me how to get rid of a deep scratch.

    i can see white and i know thats not good

    i was wondering if there is some kind of touch up paint or some product that can fill in

    the sratch and blend with the color of the car?

    Or should i get a new paint job and repaint the whole quarter panel?

    you can buy touch up paint. i got mine from toyota but i think u can buy it at like a pep boys or kragens.

    i've done it to a couple scrathes on my car. i dont really think its "ghetto" cuz you're paying like $10 tops for touch up paint while painting that door will be pretty expensive. then when they do that the color of the door compared ot the rest of your car might be slightly off. then you're gona have to pay for an entire new paint job.

    man just go w/ the touch up paint IMO

    If it's deep, nasty, noticable, and bugs you, and if your car is insured with a comprehensive policy, pay the deductible and have it done right at Toyota. Shouldn't affect your insurance costs.

    Depending on your color, you can buy some color matched waxes that can fill in the scratch and make it less aparent. If you would like a more permanent solution, call around to some body shops and/or detail shops. Airbrushing has become very popular to take care of this kind of problem and blending it in without painting the whole panel.
