Default Paint scuff fix? :(

So its like 12:30 in the morning here and I walk past my window and notice my baby has a mark on her. So I go outside to investigate and find that there is a 1 inch or so streak thats is maybe 1/2 inch wide on my lower left tail section. The paint, glass and all is gone down to the yellow gold colored plastic. Is there a good way to fix this? Its obviously too small to use a sprayer or anything, can I rattle can it as a permanent fix, if so how should I go about it?

Its not very big and wouldn't be noticed easily, but i know its there and that is a problem. My bike is factory silver with the metallic flecks in the paint. Help me fix my baby

Thanks,
Eric

thank god for decals they are the cheap alternative in covering up marks on your bike and they also make the bike look good

I have seen one decal I liked before that would cover it.

I wouldn't mind something like that, maybe just not so "busy" looking. Any recommendations where to look online?
