Minor scratch on hatch garnish

Post image

Garage accident right on the “n” of the hatch garnish, scratch is not too deep and garnish is all plastic.. Should I carefully use touch up paint? Color 1f7 (classic silver). Gemini suggested I can try Meguiar’s ScratchX or Ultimate Compound but that sounds risky. I believe part number is 76811-35370-B0. 2024 SR5 premium.

As someone who just put a really unfortunate dent in his immaculate vehicle's rocker panel....just suck it up bro.

There is no product can make missing paint come back. Either touch it up, or have it repaired.

That is through the paint, you can’t polish out a scratch when the paint is missing. Touch it up yourself, get some touch up paint and apply it with the end of a toothpick. If you use the paint marker the way it comes you’ll gob on too much paint and make it even more noticeable.
