So I have had "Jeeps suck" scratched in my drivers side passenger door since I purchased it from the previous owner; thing is its multiple scraches like a piece of branch was used not a key and is a little faint and not drastically noticeable. Well today i was getting my two year old son out the passenger side rear door and I noticed more damage, faintly read "MY DICK IS SMALL". This is my daily driver, my dick is average sized and I am a young, married, currently low income person and would not like profanity on my family car. Is there a way I can remove this. I bought a touch up pen but if i cover it, it will be even more plainly obvious what is said on both doors. My paint is ****ty as it is I just don't want to take spray paint to it because that will Look utterly horrible! Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear, man. Yeah, no offense, I was going to ask if you lived in Cali and I saw you do. Probably some 18 year old jackbag yuppie kid who has a VW, or the 50 year old parent driving his Prius.
Maybe try buffing it out with a wheel? You could also get a can of color matched spray paint at NAPA. Inside the drivers door is a color code. Last time I bought a can it was like $20 bucks.

How bad is your paint already?
If they are only light surface scratches and your paint ain't to great, a tiny drop of acetone on a clean rag will soften the top coat of paint enough to smear it away.
ONLY CONSIDER IF YOUR PAINT ISN'T IN GOOD SHAPE.

Well overall the paint is okay but the roof has complete peeling in some spots although I hit it with RUSTDESTROYER. otherwise the rest of the paint still looks good it just lookis like the previous owner took it through a forest lol..... long scratches here and there

I used to detail ferraries and lambos, those cars get vandalized by day by day, Wet sand, with 1500, then 2000 grit, if youve used a mech buffer before,youll actually be able to heat the paint enough to where itll fill the scratches and you can even it all out, That is , if its not past the clear, or too far into the color or past it!! Rhino line it, lets see those d-bags try it then!!!!
Some good replys already. The best repair depends on your tools. Hand sanding (1500, 2000 and finer) is doable but if you have or know someone with DA sander and/or a rotary buffer those scratches can be repaired easily if they are as shallow as you describe.
Another option is the buy a small quantity of clear coat and use this paint pen to fill in the scratches.

Just electrically charge your jeep that way when they try again they'll get a nice little zap! Or mount flamethrowers and wire em up to an alarm, or a trunk monkey! They work best.
well a guy could do a little 2 tone action. the body linet hat starts at the top of one head light and goes all the way around the jeep (below the door handles) the "Ridge" could be taped off pretty easily. you could use spray paint for the lower half of the jeep, flares and all. I like hammer tone paints, they dry FAST, it leaves a cool finish, and is very very durable. then just do a decal that says "Yotas Suck"
