    Since its a manual id say its done.... I would call the popo get a report and file insurance as getting keyed is covered 100% for me at least. However if you want to do it your self id start with a good buff or something then the little paint pen and try to fill any gaps

    You can buy color match pen or spray can. I had tons of deep scratches during trail offroad. I just clean the scratch and spray.

    Did you park like a lifted Chevy?

    What is this spray you speak of? Ive seen the pen but are you using just a straight up color matched spray paint can or some special automotive stuff?
