You should probably put this in the "detailing" section.

Haha. Summary:

"I hit a car and ran. I want to cover it up so they police don't find me."

What you should do:

Call the police
Report the accident
Have your insurance pay for both yours and his/her car

What you would do:

Try to touch up paint it
It looks horrid
Karma bites you in the *ss

Scratch-X works pretty well if the scratch isn't too deep.

I hope you left your info to the owner of the car you hit...
