RE: err! I just found a DEEP scratch!
I think the rule goes......If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail then it cant be buffed out (pass the clear coat). The clear coat on factory paint is always really thin, so I wouldnt worry about it.

lol It must be the lighting 
I think I will head to the beach though to get the most sunlight I can before i move to gloomy washington. lol. As for the scratch~ Im still pissed! It sucks that their are people that have NO respect for other peoples property. Anyways~ Going to find out what can be done about it or how much to fix it.

Maybe it doesn't look that deep from the picture. But at the botto of the scratch you can see the metal...Or whatever coating or something is blackish at the bottom

gosh this makes me SOO mad! I can't stop thinking about how it got there. I know I can't always keep the car perfect, but when I purchased the car I noted where ANY scratch was and this was NOT there. What can I do to get rid of this scratch? let me first say that I don't know how to use power tools and stuff but I can read directions? lol. Is there any product I can buy to fill this scratch in? How much will touch up paint cost?
