Default my car got scratched how can i fix it?

My camaro got scratched and its about 3 inches long its alitte deep past the clear coat.. Whats the best way to fix it and make it look like new? I see that dupla color sells a scratch kit for fixing scratches. Does this kit work? Any other suggestions in fixing this scratch? This scratch is such an eye sore for me

Granted I agree those repair kits usually suck, try using it first. If it doesn't work, you're not out of a lot of money. Heck, even just getting touch up paint and filling it in might suit your needs. If you want it mint, then yeah go ahead and have it repainted.

Someone keyed my rear quarter panel as well and I am pretty pissed. The key mark is very very very deep and about 13 inches long. Going to have it repainted as well as the little dent banged out, as well as new ground effects, rear bumper, front bumper, and hood.
