Think it turned out pretty good.

If you look closely, you can see a key scratch on top of the marker. I've tried using Meguiars ultimate compound and it didn't really help so I'm guessing I will need to get a touch up pen or something. Any suggestions? Know of any places that can fix it up with a reasonable price?

Thanks.

I have been here, done that and needed two panels painted as the key went right down to the primer level. Your entire panel needs to be painted if it is beyond the clear coat and paint. Silver cars are the worst for repainted panels, often I can spot one a mile away so choose a paint shop with mad skills. Some have had success with spot painting, cannot recall the shop and it was threaded here on Beyond.

Damn the entire panel? I can run my finger nail through it though and it doesn't get caught. Couldn't I just use a touch up pen to fix it up? Or use some product that will at least try to hide it a bit?
