Fred, the tool sounds useful. But I've done the same thing in the past with a 
much simpler and probably cheaper tool: the "torn" edge of a book match. 
Managed to almost completely hide a foot-long scratch in the sill of my 
Mayflower. Of course, this technique is not nearly so effective for covering 
the rust along the front fender top seam finisher strips. :-(
