Touch up Paint
I'm sure as most of us love our cars; we like to keep them clean and shiny. Even the smallest nick or scratch at times can drive some of us crazy.
But how many people really care about underneath of the car? I noticed last week as i jacked up the car for a job that my side skirts have many scratches underneath (not visible from standing view). It just bothers me knowing that they are there though (I'm pretty ****). What can i do to touch up these scratches? Note some of them are deeper than others.

If I get any scratches on the underside of the rocker panel, I take some touch up paint and go to work touching them up. If there are a lot of scratches, perhaps getting the rocker panel repainted would be in order - just depends on how much it bothers you.

So will a touch up pen/brush would pretty much do the trick huh?

Depends on how bad they are. Touch up paint will help if done properly. Take your time and try it out and then if you're not satisfied consider a repaint of the area. Mine are pretty bad but you can't see them at a standing view. If you kneel down though all bets are off. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to get a total repaint. But if things keep breaking I will never be able to afford one.
