What do you guys do about scratches in the engine bay? I have some various scratches on my firewall and fenders from wrenching (mostly from my LT install a year ago). I didn't think these little scratches went through to the metal but i believe there is a slight hint of rust in the scratch. Some of em are in hard to reach areas on the firewall. Should I try lightly sanding them with something and spray the area with underhood black, or I also have por-15? I know im being **** as these scratches are really really tiny but what do you guys think?

I have used touchup paint, and you can barely tell.
The trick to touching up scratches, per my buddy, is to take a piece of thin cardboard, cut it at a sharp angle and just dab a little paint on the tip. Much more precise. Model paintbrushes are too much they make globs.
