bodywork q: fixing deep scratches my daily driver, a 2005 acura tl, anthracite, has a deep scratch in it. i've tried to use touch up paint but it's too deep.
any ideas on how i can fix it myself?
it catches my finger nail and it might almost be down to the plastic.

if its deep itll need to be sanded, filled with a putty like Evercoat 2 part glaze the spot primered and feathered, the panel wetsanded using 1000, the panel blended in and re cleared...

I tried rubbing compound too, but it's still bad.
My buddy with a body shop is gonna work on it. He said he might be able to fill it and then touch it up.... maybe spot paint it.
