Is there a DIY way to fix car scratches?

I’ve got a car scratch from accidentally scraping a stone coming into a driveway. Some parts are down to the metal. Is there any solution besides an expensive body shop? Thanks.

    Depending on the size of the scratch you might be able to use a touch up kit that's the same color as your car paint. Check your local automotive store to see what's available.

    Joan...The scratches may buff out but those down to the metal will need more attention. They do have paint for cars at auto stores and will probably help you match and dab on those places to keep it from rusting. Good luck
