question regarding my paint..

Ok,so as we ALL know,black is the worst color as far as scratches are concerned,my question is how would i go about "touching" up scratches on my KH3 Max?Would the paint pen/brush work? or should i get a spray can of KH3 and sand down a section at a time? I have various scratches,a few being my own stupidity and not thinking( runnning a shovel on the room to move snow)...Dont ask and dont laugh...ok you can laugh cause that was a idiotic move on my behalf,but all jokes aside i got dings pucks and scratches here and there.mainly on the roof and some deeper ones on the hood....how can i fix this without a bodyshop?

If you have that many scratches, a little touch up paint might be too obvious, but worth a try. Forget using canned spray.

Have you tried getting them buffed out?

Doing a section at a time will make your car look funky and possibly worse than how it looks now. Just wait till you get fed up with how many scratches you have, and save up for a complete paint job. The touch up paint will never look the same as your original paint, maybe shinier in some spots and it won't give your car a good look. But that's just my own opinion. What do you think of a Charcoal Grey paintjob? I'm ready to paint mine but I am undecided on what color to go.
