Try the langka products at Langka.com. They seem to have something good to repair minor dings.

Default Ideas..

You could go the way a friend did when he scratched his dads car... he got the toothpaste out and gave it a swirl. Toothpaste acts like a really light cutting compound. Anyway, it was on a faded black bumper bar and he cut the scratch out and surrounding area leaving a new looking black part on his dads faded old bumper bar ops: So instead of a subtle scratch he had an attention drawing new black bit

Personally ive used toothpaste in my time... 8) but for my car now I use Kitten cutting compound and Kitten wax pollish. It does an awesome job. If anyone wants I will post a pic of the results on my car?

Yup, that stinks....

You might want to try and get hold of the folks at www.aerocolours.com.

I have used them several times in the past with FANTASTIC results. Unlike traditional touch up paint that ends up creating an uneven, and mismatched blob of paint, they use a technique that involves using an actually airbrush to slowly build up the paint. They are also able to mix in clear coat. The results are truly unnoticeable.

The down side is that they have moved away from working on individual cars so you might have to make arrangements to meet them at a Dealership.

Hope this helps.

Jim

good ideas above. buffing it out would be my only idea as well giving the other ideas a shot, or surrendering to the cheapest body shop....
on the end of my street is a family who pays no attention whatsoever to their children. the kids stand at the side of the road and throw rocks at cars....they put a nice ding in the side of my truck. ater a "discussion" with the kids and the parents, no more roadside fun for the kiddies!! :x :x :x
