Any tips on repairing scratches in paint
Are there any body shop experts here willing to give out any shop secrets on how to repair scratches? Do I need to re-paint the whole door?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I only got up to 2 coats.. I applied the first coat and let it set for a day.. as it shrank I sanded the first coat then applied the second coat.. after the second coat I waited for about 5 days to let it set.. then I wet sanded and polished.. it looked o.k. but when I looked at it yesterday in the sun I noticed the edges were the touch up paint ended was kind of dull so I tried to buff it some more (3M finishing polish) and noticed the white edges might be going past the clear.. this is where I stopped and came in to write for some help.

you have to apply quite a bit more paint to get it HIGHER than the original paint surface. You really don't have to wait that long, even between coats. Give an hour between coats, keep building it up. I'd at least put 6+ thin coats on. You need to get the scratch filled completely in. Wait a day or so to sand then make sure you keep the sandpaper flat, using water. It will work.
