While scouting for deer and antelope this weekend I got a little too close to a fence post and It left an 8" scratch along the bottom of the rear passenger door along with some scuffing in the clearcoat. The scratch is into the metal and sets in a shallow dent. All I can think of is to try the hair dryer and CO2 trick to pop out the dent. What should I use to fill and paint the scratch? It sucks because I just got the thing 2 weeks ago.
