NEED HELP! Removing scratches in car

I have a few scratches and paint chips that I couldn't buff out or are just too deep to try to buff. I know I should use some touch up paint, but where should I go, Nissan? After I get the paint, what should I do to make it blend really good with the existing paint. There is a big one one the passenger front door, some on the front of the spoiler, a small one on the top of the trunk and a couple small ones on the top of the roof. There are also some on the bumpers but they would take all year to fix. Any suggestions?

You are correct in that you have to go back to Nissan for the paint. You can also head to a body shop supply store or www.paintscratch.com for the stuff you need.

But if you don't have a local body shop supply store, you are going to need some 1500-2000 grit sandpaper, rubbing compound, swirl mark remover, and your regular polish.

Bear in mind that this will be an intensive process and you can damage your finish if you are not careful.
