If you decide to do this yourself instead of having the shop where you got your wing painted at let me know and I'll help you out. It shouldn't be too hard if you get the touch up paint in a spray can. I paint my motorcycle plastics with a spray can.

Wash it with dawn soap, prep it with rubbing alcohol, sand down with 180-320 grit, spray primer, sand primer with wet 600 grit, spray base coat, spray clear coat, wetsand with 1500...then compound it. Don't wax it for 30 days. Edit to add:This still will not look factory. It won't match the surrounding area exactly but you won't see the black scratches.

It wouldn't hurt to stop by the place that painted your wing to get a quote. By the time you buy supplies you could already be out 100 dollars.
