When I was in a parking lot, some person made a scratch on my 2000 maxima with what I would guess to be a key. I tried putting some sterling mist touchup paint, but this paint seems to be a touch lighter than the original paint on the car and this makes the scratch still visible. Does anyone know of a way to hide a deep scratch like that?

shake up the can like crazy??? after your done you should was that spot and it's surroundings a few times and really buff on it. excess buffing will cause damage to the clear coat tho so be careful, but it should help.
