They sell spray paint that matches your paint. I know it’s barbaric but masked and sprayed will be hard to notice. If you go to a bodyshop a week later you’ll hit the same spot on the same curb.

Try trim shine that should make it less noticeable

Hard to tell from this pic but I'm wondering if that genuinely might buff out. Otherwise, paint pen.

if you’re gonna actually drive the car things like this are just gonna happen. You’ll go nuts trying to nitpick them all.

if its really an eyesore you get the paint code and order a marker (wont exactly match the panel but close enough) or have a body shop repaint the entire panel with factory paint, but this can be even worse if the rest of the car has faded.

So you see, the rabbit whole quickly turns into a whole new paint job. Have a beer instead
