Get some honda touchup paint for your color.

wetsand the edges of the scratch down and rough up the area where paint is to be applied.
Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol.
Use a toothpick to dip/fill the scratch carefully.
Let the paint dry for a couple hours.
Wetsand the paint blob down level (or use a claybar).
As it dries, it will probably condense and need another layer or two.

You might move this to Body/paint section for more ideas, but here is a good resource for OEM paint and clear in a variety of sizes. And they have some good information on their "how to" sections.

This stuff is supposed to remove the excess touch-up paint without all the sanding - I heard it works pretty good:

I have heard about people who can airbrush that and they say it looks pretty good. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anybody that does it!
