You could probably improve it with compound and polish. I never tell people to do this on here but if you have experience addressing scratches with sandpaper then polish then by all means, you may save some time from just doing the compound and polish route.
You could also try adding some Dr Colorchip into the scratch which may help. It’s bad enough that if you want it perfect it’s a respray. If you brought it to me to fix I would polish it and it would probably be a big enough improvement that you could live with it.
My caveat before responding is that you know how to use a DA to bring the gloss and clarity back to that area once you hit it with sandpaper.
You could start as low as 1500 if you know how to bring it back. Otherwise, 3000 is safer but you can generally get the same results with compound and cutting pad.
Hope that makes sense.
Touch up paint or get it repainted
That’s kind of what I was thinking. Sand down and repaint but I’m a bit scared to touch paint
It’s just like normal painting And it won’t look perfect either way anyways
wet sand + touch up paint
What grit sand paper would you use?
2000>3000>5000. I sent you a video in DM
Thank you!

You think 3000 then 5000 grit?
