Default Touch up paint

I'm new to the area of buffing scratches and using touch up paint. I have a few scratches that I would like to buff out if possible. What would I use to see best results. If the scratches dont come out im planning on using the factory matched touch of paint from the dealer. They are real small and light scatches here and there that only I really notice but I would like to get rid of them. Any help would be great, Thanks

Check out this website: http://www.expresspaint.com/ you can buy a touch up pen, aerosol can or more if needed. I've used their sister site for motorcycle paint and had really good results.

Great site! I've been looking for a place I could get it in spray can form for my Dark Stone/Charcoal Beige Metalic (code T7). This place has it.

Is your truck Black ??? Can't tell from the profile pic...if so I just tried Armorall Black Box...it's made just for black cars and trucks...it's a 2 step application and it worked amazing on my scratches and swrill marks. Just thought I would share that with you. made it look brand new again.

I used www.automotivetouchup.com they have factory matched paints by your color code. They even have step by step instructional videos as well. Results were great and the paint was a perfect match. Hope this helps.
