    I have a friend that scraped my truck with his truck and hit it pretty good. I've already clay barred and buffed as much as I can (and yes I'm aware of the dent, but I'm not too worried about it.) I'm just looking for a decent way to fix some of the paint, like a paint pen or some repair paint,

    The paint color is Indigo Ink and here are the pictures:IMG_20211026_165353699_HDR.jpg

    You could try wet sanding with 2k grit then polish again but you may not be able to fix it completely without paint.

    Yeah, figured as much, I'm considering that, but I'm afraid that the clear coat is already too thin, but thanks for your input

    Since you said decent way, then body shop is the only answer.
