Default How to fix the little scratch on my car

I have a couple of little scratch on my car that I want to get rid of, however, I don't want to spend a lot of money to get the whole part or whole car painted, what's the best way to paint those scratch?

Is touch up paint pen a good choice?

Thanks

Anything you do is just going to mask the problem without really fixing it nicely a pen will work but wont look perfect, but if you did that and then cut and polished the area and waxed it would look descent

depends how little and how deep the scratched are.

Does your finger nail get stuck in the scratch when you run it over the area? Take some photos of the scratches and post them up

well, my recommendation if its a pretty big scratch is to take it to a paint shop and have them airbrush it. If they match the color good you will not even notice it was there.. that will cost you like 50 bucks.

if it's like a paint scratch, buy some GS27 or whatever it is.. the scratch remover on TV. it acutally works.. there's only one time i've been hit while not at my car when i couldn't get it all off with that.. stupid people in parkinglots :\

is it through the clear coat or the color coat? If it's a scratch in the clear coat, you can do a little wet sanding and polishing.

I think it's more like a chips than scratch. The car is already painted before, however, the painting is starting to fade as time goes by, and I could notice many dots of fading paint, and a couple of scratch about half inch long.

What's your suggestion? Should I order the touch up paint and do it myself? or Should I take it to a auto paint shop and let them to painted for me? or is there any better ways to fix this problem?

Thanks
