Default Fixing paint scratch

I have a paint scratch that I put on my wife's hood by accident. I would like to attempt it myself. I plan on getting the factory paint touch up and put it on with a tooth pick and letting dry, then wet sanding it. It's a pretty minute scratch but is down to the metal.

Any Youtube vids or any advice would be great!

Thanks.

Meguirers makes a decent scratch remover as well.

I've used it before, works well on small scratches but if it's deep or down to the metal the Meguiar's won't help you.

Doesn't do a perfect job, but it took some of my more noticeable scratches and made them much harder to see. Way better than the paint pens I ordered away for did.
