So after letting my dad drive the car for a few days I noticed the car had two deep scratch on it. I was wondering if touch up paint would be able to cover it.

 

How deep? Post some pictures. Touch up paint will work, but you need to do that carefully so as to not make it worse. Where are the scratches? Hood, roof, door?

 

It can make it look a little better and in most cases u won't be able to see it from 3 feet away. The only thing that will bug u the most is ur mind, u now know that ur car is flawed. I know, been there done that, I have a paint flaked on my front bumper and I already touched it up (quite a bit too), I can't see it from afar but it still bugs the hell out of me. But it is what it is and u will get more damages as the car ages.

 

I'll post pictures of how severe it is soon as I can't seem to upload them through my phone.

 

It will drive you crazy if you let it. The more you drive a car and the longer you own it, the more wear and tear there will be - plain and simple. The windshield and front end gets nicks, panels get dings and scratches, tires throw up trash, birds poop and the elements degrade literally everything...and every single time the clear coat is touched there is damage or wear. I say keep it nice, but not to the point where having the car drives you crazy...because if you are truthful with yourself you will almost certainly replace the car with a different car as often as you replace your PC or your phone or get your 3rd oil change.

 

Your pops dont deserve to ride the beast...lets try to keep that in mind next time ;P

 

This is the damage but it's next to the tire so not that visible.

 

Although I can't really tell where on the car that is, touch up paint on that scratch will be like putting a bandaid on a severed limb. The paint will bring the scratch to a color closer to the car but will still be extremely noticeable.

 

That's the lower part of the bumper, near the splash guard. That pic is upside down.

Or u can get a lip like mine and cover it.

 

Can you send me the link to where you got that front lip ItzFilyO? Thanks in advance.

 

Yes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/13-15-Lexus-GS350-SK-Style-Front-Bumper-Lip-Urethane-F-Sport-Bumper-Only-/371119643706?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2013%7CMake%3ALexus&hash=item5668745c3a&vxp=mtr

 

Speaking of scratch repair...I just touched up a couple spots on my car and as you might expect the touch up paint doesn't blend very well with the existing paint. It appears to kinda be globed on. I've done some research and read I can use a paint thinner or rubbing compound to help blend the touch up paint with the existing paint. Does anyone have experience doing this? I'm a little concerned paint thinner could hurt the paint surrounding the area by removing the clear coat or even some of the original paint. I'm also afraid to use a rubbing compound as I don't want to put any swirl marks in the paint. Thoughts?

 

It says for 2013-2015 GS then you drop the boxes down and put 2105 GS350 and it says not compatible LOL
