Best way to cover up paint scratches?

What's the best way to cover up little scratches? Paintscratch.com has these factory color matched paint "pens" that someone recommended. Anyone ever use these?

I have used the paint pens and had good results. I find that the pens allow you to fill in the scratch while not leaving a huge glob of paint left behind. Check out www.autovisuals.com for the full list of colors available. Hope this helps.

i found that a product called langka works wonders for me, and I have a ton of rock chips. the directions say it works on small scratches also.. www.langka.com is the website, and no, I have no affiliation with them. Just very pleased with the product.

Thanks for the replies everyone. That langka product does sound quite interesting ... I like the concept if it works. People have said they've had great results with the pens, and it seems like the langka solution would work even better. Very interesting ...

I've used both. Langka can be challenging with certain types of dings and chips. I've never tried on just a scratch.
In the end, the results were similar between Langka and a pen, but if you want to spend enough time, you can get it closer to original w/ langka. It just takes time and practice.

When done properly, using Porsche touch up paint, Langka works wonders...Always mix 50/50 paint and clear. Mix them and apply. Works much better than paint first, and clear afterwards. FYI
