bonnet scratched (black metallic paint)
Discussion
i've got a 40 cm scratch across the bonnet of my 3-year-old honda jazz. the car has "crystal black" metallic paint, and the scratches appear white, so i guess it has not gone through to the metal.
here are a couple of pictures:

i called "chips away" (uk mobile chip repair company) but they cannot do bonnets or roofs. i'm worried that this is going to cost over £300 at the dealership for a full bonnet respray? i saw some "crystal black" touch-up paint for sale at halfords (uk car accessories shop), but the reviews seem to be bad:

any advice on how to proceed? who could fix this without doing a full respray? or is it worth me risking this halfords repair kit?

I can't see the pictures either.
My wife's car was scratched by a shopping trolley.
He is how I sorted it.

If you can find someone near you with a machine polisher it would be worth giving it a go.
