How deep?

If it's only surface then use a good quality compund/cutting agent such as T-Cut or Ferroclad to start with to see if that's enough to do the job. Do you have a friendly bodyshop nearby? It's always worth asking their advice, the last thing you want to do is to be 'heavy handed' & do further damage!

If the paint is broken then you will need a touch up stick which I presume will be available from your dealer.

Patience is the key word here, take your time to get the right result.

PS: Who got the frying pan over the head for the scratch?

It's very light, my sis scratched it on a wooden fence lol its not a long scratch that's very obvious but it's obvious enough for me to notice, there are a few faint white lines but i dont think the paint is chipped

If it's very light start with T-Cut, work in a 'swirling' motion & see how you get on, this wont do any more harm & if it works then great. If not I'd still recommend a friendly bodyshop to see whether they have a slightly more 'coarse' cutting compound that won't make it any worse.

Failing that send sis round to do the 'dumb female' act & tell them her head hurts cos of the frying pan

Here. I bought this and it works for minor scratches:
https://www.fixitscratch.com/index.asp

I was skeptical. But is does work on minor scratches and if paint is off, buy a paint pen and use this after an application of paint.

Holy crap, there's sound on that website!
We were able to get a paint pen from the dealer, but haven't used it yet.
