Might be a key or a door.. but a scratch!
I have a Diamond Graphite Sedan, what would be the best course of action for that scratch? (It's about 2 inches long! ) I have always thought the touchup paint kinda was teh suck, so anyone use it with good results?

is it through the basecoat? Is it white or showing metal?
If not, you can probably buff it out with some meguiar's
ScratchX. If it's into the primer or metal, you'll need to
use touchup. The trick is to use a toothpick to apply the
paint. You will need to do about 10 coats to layer it high
enough to match that of surrounding paint. Then let
dry for about a week, wetsand the surface with 2000grit
sanding block and soapy water, then clear coat.
Wait another 2 days, use some ScratchX or mild compound
to buff it in.
It takes a lot of practice and patience to perfect, but it'll
look much better than a scratch.
