Are they minor enough to rub out, or can you feel them when you run your hand over them?

If you can feel the scratches, then buffing and waxing won't get rid of it.

nope, If the scratch is through the paint then buffing/waxing won't get rid of it.

I havn't heard of air brushing scratches. Some bodyshops do slight damage repairs by only painting part of a panel. The damage has to be sanded out,filled,primed before paint. If your really picky about your car I would recommend re-painting the whole damaged panels though.

Please don't. If you want it to look good, please do it right.

Some can be buffed out. You can probably get touch up paint stragith from the dealer.

Tell them what year and what *generic* color, and they will be able to get it for you. What color is it anyway? Red, black, or EBP?

The dealer should sell really small bottles like a few ounces worth, but depending on how bad the damage is depends on how much you should buy. Usually the touch-up paints that I see are about the size of a white-out bottle or something of that nature.

I havent bought a bottle of honda touch up, but I DID buy some for my Nissan. About the size of white out and it was like 7.99. I dont think Honda would be much more than that

No one is going to know for sure unless they work for Honda or JUSt bought some. That is why you CALL them tomorrow and ask

Yea, 30 bucks is waaaay too much, and I've never seen it in a tube, lol. They're usually $6-7 from a dealership, look like a white-out container, are typically stocked for later year models, and they were nice enough to give it to me for free. I almost shat myself in amazement on the last part...

Is it a small scratch if so then you can just go to the dealer give them your your color number it should be on the drivers side door, and they will give you a small bottle of paint and you just use the brush and BAM so perfect.

I know this isn't related at all, but let me be the first to say that it sounds like this belongs in the cooking forum instead
