You may not need paint. Most small scratches/scuffs can be fixed with a proper buffer set up. Our dealer charges $55 to do whole car. I recnetly started using Adams Premium Car Care products and bought my own buffer for this.

If the clear coat is scratched through you will likely have to get that panel repainted. If the scratches didn't make it through the clear coat but are deep, you will likely have to do a little wetsanding. Search for "wet sanding" on www.YouTube.com.

Yeah I agree with you if it is deep then you have to do wet sanding, If you want a demo you just click below link:
