You can get touch up paint for things like that.

Have u considered using t cut on the sand paper one
They do it in various colours
Just find the one that matches and try polishing them out
It dues this by removing the top, damaged laver of paint
Might take a few goes
And use a good polish afterwards to protect the finish
Will also help bend in the repairs on the scratches to
Hope this helps as this has worked for me when I’ve done work on mate’s cars

this stuff wil do a fantastic job.. used in the body shops..
wet your finger and rub it along the scratch...
if it dissapears it will polish out..
if not then your'e looking at painting the panel..
If you do not want to go down that route you could try colour magic polish
it is normal polish but has paint pigment in it and you get it in various colours (Halfords).
Your paint looks metallic so your talking about a panel being sprayed.. as
brushing on the paint will probably make it look worse
you could try a company like "chips away" that specialise in that sort of thing.
If you want to go the bush route, get a kids paint brush and the paint for your car (Halfords should have it on the shelf)
Get a can of clear laquer and spray some green and some clear into a lid
use a small paint brush and just put a tiny bit of paint at a time over the scratch
dont try to fill it just cover it..
then once it is al covered and dry use just the clear in the same way to build it up..
once it is there use a little wet and dry p1500 or higher with a little soap and water(it is written on the back of the sheet) and flat it down gently..
then polish

i was advised by a guy working alongside chipsaway that if you apply the correct touch up pen, leave it to harden for a week and then rub back with newspaper it'll cover up scratches (key scratches and stone chips) the paint must be completely hard hence waiting a week :grin:
