You could always get new body panels......or depending on how deep the scratchs are you could buff them out if there not deep

Anyone tried using the dealer touch-up paint? I noticed they have a "gob remover", too, that's supposed to keep the paint from being noticably raised over the top of the scratch...

I knocked a broom over in my garage the other day and it gouged the side of my car... dammit...

Another thing that works for hiding 'em is color-cured wax. I used that on my old black car and it hid scratches better than regular wax. I don't know if it comes in camoflauge green, though...
