    Well it finally happened! I got my first scratch and it’s a doozy man... what is the best way to fix this? Appears to be all the way thru the paint. Not sure if lint correction or just polishing will do the trick

    No need to fix. It’ll blend in with the rest soon.

    If you can feel it with your fingernail, then it’s gone deep into the clear coat. Be cautious on trying to buff or polish out because it's easy to burn through the clear coat. Unfortunately, the “correct” fix, if it’s through the clear coat, is to completely re-clear the entire panel from edge to edge. Try Scratch-X and carefully polish, maybe you can get it to become less noticeable. Good luck.
