2024 Cactus Grey got scratched up making a turn in parking lot

[Vick328]

Made a sharp turn by the concrete pillar and got the rear passenger side right above the back tires a bit scratched up. Most is white streaks, just by the bottom I see the metal dots. I dont know if its wise to go to the deal to have them fix it up. Saw the cactus grey paint spray on Amazon, dont know if that would make it obvious that the truck was scratched. I will be posting the pics soon, open to suggestions or ideas. Thanks!

If you see "the metal dots" that's gonna need a pro body shop job to get it back to pristine condition

Was hoping to install fender flare to cover it up.

A fender flare would probably cover that, but you definitely will want to paint in so there's no bare metal, otherwise you'd be inviting rust.

Depending on how handy you are. 1st order some OEM touchup paint. Then Amazon touch up brushes. 1st clean with 70% IPA and if you have a buffer go at it easy with compound and a buffer. Then touchup paint and see how it looks. Then Mabett fender flairs. Or it looks like you can just touch up paint and then fender flairs. Just make sure you touch up paint so it wont rust!

I nicked the paint loading some tools. Used this touch up paint and can't even see where.
Just put a dot of paint on each metal dot. Try not to overlap the painted surface.

Cool! I have found the OEM touch up paint to match much better!

1. Touch up the bare spots.
2. Gently polish the other scratches with some rubbing compound.
3. Wash and wax the entire truck.
4. Wear your scratches proud, your badge of honor, you did that.
