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.
That was going to be my next question, I would definitely need some help with it and I appreciate the offer

I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet. I wanna give it a few days and see if I can live with it as it is. What would happen if I just painted over it with touch up paint?
