Default Deep scratch removal help please!!!

Well it was bound to happen (bad luck) :cry :cry I was out cruising last night when I hit some road debree which of course kicked up and left a 5" long gouge in my baby. This scratch is pretty deep and is right through the paint and into the fiberglass. Does anyone know of any techniques/products or ideas on how I can fill this and touch it up to get it somewhat looking O.K. again, or should I just take it to a body shop and have them take care of it...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Touch ups will probably look worse than it is now, probably have to let a body shop take care of it.

:iagree: If it's down to the glass, it needs professional attention.
