go to the stealers for touch up sticks, they are only about 5/6 quid,

mix the paint with the laquer before applying it to the scratches, from your picture though it looks like a proper respray is going to be your better option imo.

Yes, the more I look at it the more I'm thinking of paying up and having it completed professionally.

yes thats your best bet really, my scratch repair guide is purely a fairly simple fix but is no match for a respray cosmetically.
