Default whoops, scratched the side rocker panel, repair tips/question >

I scratched the underside of the left rocker panel on my car. It's pretty deep, small, but deep.

Normally for scratches I would fill it, prime it, and paint it, but the rocker panels have a special soft touch coating applied before the paint goes on.

Any thoughts on how to mimic that coating (to prevent my repair paint from being chipped away)? All I can think of is undercoating (similar to what they spray truck beds with - made by 3M and MarHyde) I would spray that on top of the repair...

Any suggestions would be appreciated

one can did both sides of the car with some still left over. Looks like new.

It ends up with a dull black lumpy look though, right?

Default I'd call it a dull semi-gloss....a rubbery paint

it will dry 'smooth' but it will follow the underlying bumpy undercoating.
