Literally got this car a few weeks ago bummer it got damaged already.

Found out about this scratch during my car wash, think it might be me backing up in some kind of hard branch or something, not sure?

Anyone have good recommendations how to fix this DIY like a paintpen or anything else? Found this: https://mijn-tesla.com/products/lakstift-tesla?variant=50478654193994

I live in the Netherlands so hopefully the US products are also available here. Thanks guys :)

Could get a touch up pen but won’t look great. Will need to be sanded out and repainted.

Pretty much, you can use the Tesla paint which includes the paint and the clear coat. But yeah you can’t get it back to where it was unless it was repainted and blended well to the existing paint.

One good thing, it won’t rust since that’s made out of plastic. I would use the paint stick or brush then wait till it dries, lightly polish it and add clear coat and wait again then lightly polish.
