Minor Paint Scratch Repair Help

[RChris173]

Got a small scratch on the door edge, it is very minor, but noticable when closed and open. I think the color of my Jeep is midnight blue. I can still see the lighter blue color underneath where the scratch is, so I'm guessing it didn't get to the metal?

Can I use something like this: http://www.jeep4x4center.com/product-information.asp?number=04889866AB

to fix it?

Help appreciated, thanks

Checked the door panel label and it says PB7, guess that is not Midnight Blue, but Patriot Blue Pearl.

Some pictures of the scrach along the door edge. The flash makes the scratch more white than it really is, but the location and description should be enough to give you a good idea of it.

Should I just be able to apply to touchup stuff without having to use any other materials or tools?

Thanks

Probably need to apply the touch up paint with a tooth pick, then wet sand it down....that should look nice when done!

Thanks for the tip!

What grit of sand paper should I use?

No prob...I've never done this before.

I'm sure 67Customs knows more, he'll see this.

been there done that! check pep boys/autozone to see if they have the small little bottles for your color. if no, just buy it online here: http://www.touchuppaintonline.com/Jeep i got mine there for $15 or so a year ago and it did the job for me. you can also try the dealership, but that could be pricey.

when you apply it, you have to apply very little and spread it out into really thin coats. if it doesn't do the trick the first time around, just go back and apply more coats until it's all covered.
