    What the heck did you use to take badges off, a crowbar? Seriously, why didnt you use fishing line? Sell that Tacoma and buy a Ford.

    Ha well just think if you scratch it more you wont care as much. My truck has only been on the road since march. Soon after I got it a stupid idiot at walmart pushed a cart into my tailgate. Yea I was pissed until I scratched my door with my key. Duh! But it happens and the more you do it the less u care.

    All kidding aside. I do admire clean trucks and cars! The two I hold in highest respect along those lines are HBTacoma's and Rays! Those things deserve their own museum.

    For me on the other hand, I love to off road, and it does hurt my brain from time-to-time, but trail stripes and some bruising goes with the territory. For now, I consider my body guy to be a financial advisor instead of a body guy!

    I have all due respect to the OP and those that choose not to wheel in the bushes and the rocks.

    I also have black and I had some minor ones and used Nu Finish Scratch Doctor and it was amazing on the small ones, filled the larger ones in a little. Yours looks like more than a scratch though from your pics.

    check pep boys to see if they have your paint. if not, just order it online, a lot of sites sell touch up paint http://www.touchuppaintonline.com/Toyota/Tacoma. Or go to the dealer, which is typically cheaper cuz you don't have to pay shipping.

    You call that a scratch?


    Just wait til you start to wheel. I have scratches that start at the corner lamp up front and run allll the way to the tail light on both sides. And a bunch of other ones.


    I think the only panel that hasn't been scratched on my truck is the hood.
