Buy a touch up kit ,then compound with a machine polisher the results can be quite good.

I was struggling to get one for mine, phoned Volvo dealers with vin then.....Halfrauds made some paint up, can't fault them for that, was quite cheap too

Mask the scratch so only the scratch is visible and then apply the touch-up, patiently wait for the paint to dry and remove the tape. If you feel brave, a little 1000 gr wet and dry to level it, then 2500 gr to flatten it and finally, polish with some T-cut.
Never failed for me.
