For a scratch that deep, and if you're picky (like me), you're going to have to go to a body shop and have the area resprayed and blended in. If it was something milder like spiderwebbing or swirls, a professional detailer can buff that out.

On my black FC3c I had some pretty bad hood scratches. I used Turtle Wax Color Cure & Chip stick. Not 100%, but it's better than primer.

Bought it at local autozone. Most parts stores sell the stuff. Comes in many colors. Beware, your hands, bucket, towels, etc. will all turn the color of the wax.

Good luck man.
