You can get High Build primer. Goes on quite thick, that should fill the scratches. Flat it back with wet 'n' dry and respray with a aerosol. You can get these made up and colour matched at any decent automotive paint shop.

Hope this helps, best of luck,

It will be signal orange, theres 2 shades and its easy as anything to match up once you got the right one, dependant on where it is on the panel and the size of it it might be easier to do the spot repair then extend the paint into the nearest swage line.
