S'ok. About a week after having mine our shovel fell off the wall and put a nice dent/paint chip right in the middle of my drivers side door. It's the first thing you see when grabbing for the door handle...ugh.

well, it depends how close you are and how deep the scratch is LOL! But i think it works great. I had a paint shop mix me up some and i bought small detail touch up brushes and they are hardly noticeable.
