Post Touch Up Paint/Painting Hood (Possibly)

In my Audi i have a bunch of little scratches some are deep and some are just like little dings from people rubbing up against my car. I was wondering if anyone knew any good scratch removers or and methods of making them go away. Also on my hood i have a bunch of dings from rocks idk if the can be removed or not might be to deep but i was thinking maybe if i painted my hood i could paint it just black for a sporty look. Idk what people would think of a black hood either cool or not let me know just want opinions. thanks!

(Trying to have pics of Dings)

I wouldn't do it. Looks cheap and doesn't work well with your color. It'll also hurt the liquidity and resale value of the car.

Looks like you don't have a metallic color so it should be easy to touch up. I had to redo my trunk recently since the paint was peeling (don't ask me why, factory paint shouldn't be this bad) and I bought a can of OEM paint from www.touchuppaintonline.com. The color matched really well and it was a good fix. If you only have small damages, you can probably get the little bottles with the brush in them.

I would go the DIY touchuyp route, mate. You didn't mention what year your A4 was but this site has a bunch for every year; Here's 2000

The black hood... I dunno... I think it's weaksauce.
