Default newb, messed up, help

Before I say anything I would like to say that I did search for this topic to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find it so please bare with me.

Today I took off the logos/stickers on the back of my car. My problem is that I got all of the goo off from the civic logo but I ended up with some scratches. I tried using some patching paint (I don’t know) that came with my parent's same color Volvo (black) but it looks like ****. I was wondering if there is a cheap way to patch the paint on my car without having to get a compressor and such. I was thinking there might be a good spray paint that I can get and just sand down the area where I messed up and do that but I really don't know where to start.

first off the paint on your moms volvo is completly different than the honda.

second, I wouldnt of put on the paint, the scratches left by what you used were probably in the clear coat and could of been wet-sanded / buffed out.

I would take see if you can get the touch up paint off with some remover (very carefully as not to take off the rest of the paint) and then try buffing it.

I agree, you probably could've waxed out those scratches.

I dont know what you should do now.
