just rub it down with a fine grit wet and dry and repaint it with satin black spray .

if the scrapes are a bit deeper, fill them with a little filler first

I would go for an 800 grit maybe then prime it with a filler primer. Once the filler primer is dry, flat it again with an 800 then spray it satin black. Try to get the double concentrate acrylic aerosols as they cover much better than the normal cans
