That scratch looks like it's on the inside so won't be seen much. I would get a scratch repair kit and wet sand it. Get it best possible, then use OEM paint pen which also has clear coat. No one will see it except you.

Yeah it is on the inside. I have the Turtle Wax scratch repair kit but I don't like it. I used it once exactly as directed and it didn't come out right.
 
I'd talk to ADExternal or @323 about the paint. They may be of some help.
See a few posts back
 
my suggestion, take a very small piece of fine sandpaper, and be sure to only sand the scratches to make them smooth. dont sand the area around the scratches, just a little bit on the scratches to make them smooth like i said.
then take a bottle of touch up and carefully fill in the scratches with some paint, 2 coats i would say, then let it dry. then on top of that paint, put some clear nail polish. i know, it might sound weird, but it'll give it a shine so that it's a lot less noticeable in the light.
 
I agree with the method @323 proposed. 1500-2000 grit sand paper is what youll be looking for. If you want it to be completely unnoticed, sand around the area with 1500 then use clear blend spray can then 2000 grit and buff it. But thats a lot of work to make it flawless versus just unnoticed and you risk blending it wrong if you dont have the spraying technique.

Did you try 2000 grit wet sanding it after the touch up? Theyre 5$ at home depot for like 5 big sheets.

Yeah I wet sanded the affected area with 1500, touched it up, and then wet sanded with 2000.
 
I have decided to repaint both mirror covers as there were some imperfections on both. So far I have sanded down all those imperfections and have applied three coats of primer. In an hour or two I'll wet sand the primer and do two more coats of primer, thick coats. I want to try and have the base coats on tonight. Pictures to follow...
 
Lol, I was watching a movie in the garage on the laptop while I was painting

Lol. I have been fixing my laptop to kill time. It's kind of cold in my garage. I have a space heater going that warms up the area I'm painting in just enough.
