Deep scratch on the body

[mzi]

Today, I got two (kind of deep) scratches on my Pilot's back door. The door was accidently left open and was in contact with the garage door. The damage was done when we tried to open the garage door.

Please suggest me solution(s) to remove/fill the scratches. As I said, they are kind of deep as one can easily feel the level difference. I have the touch up paint, but I'd like to hear if there is any product that can get rid of it without applying the paint.

Thanks in advance.

Check to see if there's a place in your area called Colors on Parade. I know there are various franchises in this state. They'll be repairing the guardrail damage I currently have on my right rear bumper later this week (see my "guardrail woes" thread under detailing on this board), and for a fraction of what the body shops quoted me. Our particular Colors mainly does work for the local Toyota/Mercedes/BMW dealer. When I went to see them about my issue, he had a lot full of brand new Mercedes and BMWs with all kinds of nicks and scratches that he was repairing for the dealer. Best wishes.

ouch, I did that once on my TSX. If the original paint is scratched, then I would apply the touch up paint asap or rust might come up.

If it's only a ding without paint all removed, check out local bodyshop. Last time I fix my big scratch, they told me if the paint is not removed, they can fix the ding without applying any paint on it for cheap.
