    I just put a bunch of scratches down my F-250:doah:... I was backin' out my driveway and hit a bush... Is there anything that I can do besides a repaint? I know that alot of buffing may help but is there a good product that I could use? or is it possible to use a "touch up" paint and still look good?

    touch up paint is real hard to apply and have it still look good at least ive never had any luck with it. Mothers car products are usially really good. buffing it out iss the best way to go if its just surface scratches

    Most of the newer models have several layers of clear coat on top of the paint. Lightly buff the scratches out. Wipe down the area with a solvent designed to remove silicon & grease residue. Anyplace that sells automotive paints would have it. Then reapply several coats of clear coat. Auto paint supplier should have some in an aerosol can.
