Duplicolor does a decent color match. But im sure you know about that. You can get a touch up pen/ brush for $7 that is pretty damn close to true color from advanceauto. Those are some cheap options. The CW touch up pen is good enough that I lost which part I was touching up on my hood. Camouflage....

Get a can of the colour from your automotive store, mask off the area and about 1cm around the marks, then using the spray, spray evenly coating and filling the holes, you need to then look at some very fine grit sandpaper to bring it all level again, then use some good polish to bring it back.

Hahaha^ good luck.
Op don't try spray your self if you have no idea. Just get a color matched pen or brush and touch it up. Or take it to the professionals. On the cheap look up smart repairs in your area and they will come to your house and do it on site.

Dont go the spray can route. As for automotive touchup, i painted my lowers with their UG rattle paint and i can vouch for them. Awesome colormatch and fast shipping

You can put touch up paint on it to try and blend it.

The only way to get it back to 100% would be to get it repainted by a profesional who will sand it down, primer it, and repaint it. The scratches/chips are too deep.

WAY too deep and extensive to use touch-up paint but unless you want to pay hundreds to have the fender repainted that's your only option.

Do you guys realize you can go to the dealer and buy factory color-matched touch-up paint? Comes with 2 pens - color and clear - for only $10 to $15.

Other option is to take it off and have a pro do it.

Yeah, bu those aren't very small scratches. The pens work best for smaller scratches.

Yeah, my point is that is much much cheaper if cost is a factor, or for something temporary. And they are good to have for small things anyway.

But yeah to be perfect, it's going to need to get painted.

Find a friend who can repaint it professionally or just deal with it man... I went the route of using a touch-up pen and I failed horribly, lol.
