Body-color paint pens to repaint a scratch?

So apparently someone scratched my car the other day. Awesome.

I have about a 7 inch long white scratch across my passenger front door. It looks fantastic, trust me.

I know that some manufacturers supply the car with a body-color paint pen, or sometimes a small bottle+brush. A pen would work best in this instance.

Where can I get one in Tectite Gray?

That sucks, I always thought the people in SLC were nice folks, must have been a visitor. As for the pen, check with the nearest dealer's parts counter.

Thats sucks, it happened to me not to long ago. Even with a paint pen they just never come out good and you will always notice it. When I worked for Lexus in college , they had guy who would airbrush deep scratches out. Maybe a custom body shop can do that for cheap. In the end I bet your just goning to need to get it repainted. Sucks, I know, but its just about all you can go to make it look good.

Check out these guys. http://www.standox.com/portal/

They have a tight relation with MB based on their press releases and publications.

Usually in your case, the repair company will want to paint the whole panel ... as is recommended by Standox.
