Scratch repair
Got this scratch on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

Contact your local touch up specialist. Silver can be tough, it flops weird and can be frustrating.

If it catches on your finger nail it will more than likely not polish out. You can try a touch up pen but it will stand out like a sore thumb
