Build it back up with layer upon layer of touch-up.

Once it's proud of the line & relly dry, flat it off with a hole-punch of wet & dry 1500 grit, superglued to a pencil eraser.

Cleaner/polish on the W&D as you get closer to level.

Then polish out on the usual way.

If you're careful, it will be almost invisible.

Difficult to tell on your photo how deep the scratch is. Has it gone down to the primer in the worst section?

I will never understand why people do this Jealous twats!
