Key scratch...
I got out of my truck today and scratched the door pillar with a key...ahh I could have killed myself right there...Any one got tips on covering it up...It is only 1/2 inch long and just to the primer...

You can pick up some Duplicolor Touchup paint at most local auto parts stores. Eastwood offers a kit for "chip repair" that'll give you small round sanding disc that are very fine and a spinning pad for holding them. If the scracth is not thru the primer, just brush some of the Duplicolor over the scratch and let it dry. Apply it sparingly, try to only fill the scratch. Afet it's dried atleast 12 hours or better, use the Eastwoods "chip repair" kit to sand away the extra paint and smooth out the repair. Then use a buffing compund and then a swirl remover to "blend" the repair in with the surrounding paint. Finish off with a good coat of wax and you should be good to go.
