Took my 280 for some warranty work and happened to be there when the dealer's new 300 was being prepped for the showroom

Visited a couple of local repair shops, as after having my car washed it became apparent that someone has scratched the paint on my tailgate and silver is visible at the deepest part 
Quoted is £160+VAT to have it resprayed at one bodyshop and £300+VAT at another!
Although I stumbled across an advert for ChipsAway SMART repairs

Do you have 5 door or SC? I've just fit mine but they're not working as intended and I feel like it may be due to mine being SC
Do you have a 5 door? I just fit them to my SC and it's not working and fear it may be due to size?
There is no noise and it doesn't pull to one side. Am I just being a bit paranoid.....
Yes.
Looks like it's been keyed, can probably polish out most of it but a few inches of the scratch is deep enough for me to stick my thumbnail into.

I wouldn't recommend ChipsAway for body work! I've used them in the past on my ibiza and you could easily tell where it had been resprayed.

My advice to you is pay the extra and get a good job done.

Cheers for the feedback.
I did stumble across SEAT Touch Up Paint Sticks on eBay but guess that'd be the cheapest and worst option of the lot!
Guess I'll have to take the hit at some point... or just not wash the tailgate, so the scratch doesn't show

Go to local car dealership, have a look at the used cars on the forecourt. Ask the service manager who does the touch ups on the used vehicles and what day he comes in.
Most dealers will use an independent who fixes scratches around the back by the service bay or wash bay...they don't put used cars through their own bodyshops. Meet they guy and get a price for cash, mine cost 80 quid to put a nastly scratch right and mop out a surface one down three panels caused by a tree branch in the gales winds
I have my cars done this way and I also use a paintless dent repairer for panel bruises
Had a bit of a play around with some headlight tinting film as well....
