Damn trucks. I know how you feel. It can be fixed though. Take it to a few good body shops to get estimates and make sure you ask exactly what they are going to repaint, blend, ect.

Mine wasn't a scratch. It was a chip. I've seen lots of scratches get fixed and not noticable at all when repainted. It can be fixed. The key is to finding a place that's going to do the job right. Make sure the body shop understands how you want it to look when finished. Express that you want it to look brand new with no waves or blending issues when done.

looks like i am going to use the touch up paint instead of the body shop because the body shop wanted to repaint the whole fender and the hood to match and blend it. I said ill just use the touch up paint for the scratch. Before i touch it up how should i clean the area of the car and what other materials should i use besides the touch up paint?
