Need some ideas over a big scratch...

Had my door slightly open, was about to get out of the car to get something, but forgot to pull the e-brake up. Car started to slowly fall back down the drive way, slammed the brakes but not in time. Doing something so pathetic was hard to accept.

I'm thinking I could try the porter cable on it to try to 'spread' some of the good paint across it.

Or should I try touch-up paint?

I'm open to anything...it doesn't look very good at all. And I don't feel like paying hundreds or whatever ridiculous quote the collision center down the street will give me.

Touch up paint would be your best bet...

touch up.. trying to spread that over that seem would be a pain.

that sucks... did that happen when you left my house? how are the springs btw?

oh shit! Self pwnage is the WORST! (trust me, I know all about it. :( )
I'm also leaning towards touch up paint since trying to spread it would be a big pain. Have you seen those touch up pens that Rosenthal has? (paint on one side, clear coat on the other)

Maybe that'll help?

Nah BG that was there before I came...springs are awesome

I posted on autopia and touching and sanding should do the trick...supposedly that's a very easy area to repair since it's on the edge. I ordered touch-up paint from my dealership today and I think I'll try doing my paint chips too, like how altspace did in his thread. I'll get to it soon since finals are finally over.
