I have a number of nicks and scratches in my paint that don't really bother me, but now I have a large scrap down the passenger side of my truck from a bush hitting it. I was thinking about getting touch-up paint from Advanced Auto or direct from Chrysler. Have any of you ever used that stuff? Does it look good at all? I don't wanna do it if it's going to look like sh*t. Any suggestions?

if you paint, then put in some time with ultra-fine grit sandpaper its not too bad, by ultra-fine i mean a trip to the car-parts store not home depot though. ~R

Before you do, drop by a body shop and ask how much to have it airbrushed & buffed. If you fix it yourself, you'll always see that line. And what's worse, instead of saying "oh, there's a scratch in the paint", you end up saying "oh, there was a scratch in the paint and the owner used cheap touch-up paint to try to cover it up".
(... speaking from experience....)

I agree with eric unless you are experianced with tuching up paint the scratch will still stand out it would be worth the extra buck to get it done right

Do sumthing with it, put a vinyl stripe over it or paint a flame over it, idk, think about it. But i agree, dont do it yourself, thats about as ghetto as a honda civic with a different color hood.
