    Noticed this when walking around my truck today, fingernail definitely fits in it. Looks like it’s all the way through the paint. I’m assuming this is going to need some paint work done.

    Any suggestions for treating a scratch like this?

    Not enough to list
    Dr. Colorchip works great on not only chips but scratches as well. I would clay bar it and use the kit stated. You maybe have to layer and blend it but it should look good as new in no time.
