the paint on my 99 4runner is looking ok. but it can't take a beating at all. i drove through some brush that has never hurt any other car i've been through it with and it looks like someone has just keyed my car. is there anything i can cover these scratches up with or how much for a whole paint job on my car?

 

You could try to buff out the scratches with some rubbing compound.

 

buff them out and then use a good wax on it. it should protect it better.

 

ive used turtle wax scratch & swirl remover with an orbital polisher (dont bother by hand)...and the results were quite good. mind you my truck was covered in pinstripes, but it took out all but the deepest gashes...
