There are a couple of ways to either fix the scratch or cover it up.
My preference would be to get a bottle of touch up paint, and a paint chip sanding kit from Eastwood. What it is is a series of fingertip sanding pads for touching up small paint chips or scratches. Practice on a hidden area fist before doing an area the is very obvious.
There are also shops that specialize in scratch repair. Restorations shops have these types of services available (they won't want to repaint the entire car).
Another option, although it is the easiest isn't the best, is to get a colored wax that is specifically made for "hiding" scratches. Since the wax is colored a similar color as your car, the wax fills in the scratch with pigmented wax, and this makes the scratch harder to see.
If the scratch isn't very deep (only on the surface and not down to the bare metal), you can try to take it out with a fine or medium grit cleaner. Again, practice on a hidden area.
Good luck!
