Default Paint chips under the hood...

Hey all, when I removed my old intake a little piece where the factory intakeattached to remainedin my enginebay -it's like a screw or something- see pic below...



I didn't want that piece there anymore so I removed it. Unfortunately, haste makes waste so I scratched the paint underneath that stupid piece during the process. I touched it up with some touch-up paint from the dealer but did a quick job and could have done better.

Is there a way to remove old touch-up paint without ruining anything else? It's been there for over a year and now that I'm beautifying my engine bay it's annoying me a little. I want to remove the old touch-up paint and start over. Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas - thanks!

Heck...

Just put a piece of Black Carbon Fiber over it!

Outside of that, you have to treat it as any flaw in paint.... sand, prime and paint!
