that is all you bloody think about is penis don't you viper haha

and i wouldn't bother with touch up pens/paints as they can make it look even worse probably would be best to either get it resprayed as it will look ten times better or just leave it

Buy some paint with the lacquer already mixed from Paints4U (http://www.paints4u.com/). Better than any touch up paint you can get from the dealers.

Touch the scratches/ chips in so they are just proud of the surface, then have a scout around on detailing world for someone in your area who may be able to wet sand and buff the marks out.

This is what I tried with my GTI bonnet took me a full day to sort it, eventually the scratch came back through but at first I did a good job :n:

As said before, it will be blatent if you used just a touch up pen.

If you know anyone who can wetsand and machine polish then get them to follow it up once it's fully hardened.

Other than that, if it's really annoying you then just fill it with touch up paint or from the website someone posted earlier and leave it protruding.
