when you type you post hit Go Advanced button and when you scroll down you see attachment button, click it and you can select the file to be attached, mind that cannot be larger than 800x600 IIRC.
is the paint scratched deep to the metal? or you just have clearcoat scratched?
if its just a clearcoat you can buff it out,
if its clear coat and paint thats damaged you can attempt to do it yourself or get one of theose mobile touch up guys, they will do better job than most of us...
but in this case pix will help .....so we can guide you better...
BTW what color is your truck?

it is Chestnut Brown and it is pretty deep but not to the metal... I tried Quixx scratch remover on a hidden place it kinda worked but I think I will just get some touch up tommorow at the dealer and just use a tooth pick tip and fill the scratch in. I took some photos but still cant figure how to attach on here I dont see any advanced butto on the page

See it's like a virus!!! we start discussing solutions and bam you get a dent. I would rather have a dent then a scratch...but it still is a bummer for you. Maybe we will both get it resolved and not discuss it anymore.

If you can, purchase a cheapo airbrush and a can of air from a hobby shop. Purchase the touchup paint and use the airbrush to slowly fill the scratch, 2-3 coats let it dry then apply a couple coats of clear. Buff it and it will be almost invisable, I have tried the nail polish brush type touchup many times and it always looked just OK, after I discovered how easy it was with the airbrush ..... it was amazing with a little practice and if you get a little over spray, it'll wipe off with a quick wipe of acetone.
