Default Scratch correction question

I have a scratch on one of hte pillars between the front and rear window on the ISF. its deep enough to catch your finger nail. would it be best to fill, then try to blend with a color sand or should I try to buff it out without paint? I was not sure how much you can get out of a photo but ill try to take a couple tomorrow and post them.

it's too deep to entirely buff it out safely if it catches your nail but you can smooth the edges to make it less noticable. Colour sanding is best left to the pro's. I wouldn't try it for the first time on your ISF

If you're talking about the plastic B pillars, you can just replace those.
