Joanne put a pretty nice scratch in her truck. I've fixed a few scratches on my truck, but hers is worse. Any good thoughts on paint suppliers?
Maybe just go to the dealer?

Check your phone book for a DuPont Paint Supplier. Take the truck there. They should be able to take the paint code and mix you up some paint. They even have a camera that can tell them how to mix it to accomodate any fading.

JK are you thinking of painting the whole panel, or just filling the scratch, if you are just filing the scratch, i have used the touch up paint bottles at Autozone, fill it with a couple of coats let it harden for a few days, and rap some 1200 wet sand paper around small Popsicle stick, and gently work it down and buff and wax, i have done this on some pretty bad scratches and it is almost invisible.
