Default Instrument Bezel scratch remove

Hi,

So I've got my 2001+ instrument bezel from a GS430. It came with a scratch, price was good tho. The next step is removing the scratch. I thought you guys might have good suggestions to remove the scratch. It isn't a spot, it's really a scratch, you can feel it. Any idea's how I can remove it? Using a varnish pencil (or however it's called)?

Here is a picture of the scratch:


Thanks a lot!

I think your best bet would be to try a bit of silver paint, as that scratch looks kinda deep.You might need to hit up a hobby store to check out some different shades of silver to find the best match.
