    Clear coat scratch or something deeper. How to repair?

    That's pretty noticeable you can clean it up a bit and polish it up and taken the sin off of it but being a darkheavy metallic color I worry because its through the clear any wet sanding would lead To a more noticeable spot. There is always repaint but kinda expensive for that.
