Touch up paint on my FD?

I've got two scratches in my FD that I had when I bought the car from the first owner. I am wondering if I can use mazda touch up paint to clean it up. I've attached photos, let me know what you think.

you can use touch up paint, but I have never been a big fan of it. You could put touch up paint on it, and it would look better from a distance, but if you are withing 5-10ft of the car, you would be able to tell. It's all personal preference though.

They sell the paint cheaper, along with everything you need to sand and buff the aarea afterwords. Used it on my cop car to excellent effect.
