same product. i am not sure how bad your scratch is...but i just had a little chip in the paint that i fixed. It worked well on the tungsten color, but since you're black...I'm not sure how it will turn out--black tends to show a lot.

Dupli-Color also has touchup paint. Theirs has a double sided applicator, pen on one side brush on the other. I've been looking at many dept stores and all the auto supply stores in my area and they are always out of black. The stores say its Dupli-Color's fault for not keeping up store stocks. I wanted the double sided applicator but i guess I'll have to break down and get some from the Ford dealer (their's only has a brush).

Here's a great little demo showing how to do the touch up. http://www.duplicolor.com/training/SF_training.html

I got mine from the dealer and it had the dual set up. But mine was white.
