Default Color Repair

Hi Friends,
My 2010 ES 350 have a 4" by 2" scratch near passenger side rear wheel. What are my best options to touch up this area economically? See the attached pictures. Thanks.

Is that the primer or scrape marks ? if it is the scrape marks, you can puff as much as possible. Economycally speaking, puff it and airbrush the area to blend it out, the area is low enough to fool the eye.

Thanks Blueshark. It is in-fact scrape marks. Is airbrushing something that an average driver can do? Or does it need a professional touch?

I would say, buff it well first, you may not need any painting retouch. When i say buffing well, i mean with a professional buffer. I would shop for a detailling shop for the job instead of buying your own stuffs.

Depending on the end result, you can touch up paint. For your question on airbrushing, i own an airbrush and it take some used ot it to lightly blend color, it is not impossible.
