Default Need Help Removing Scuff Mark From Stripe

I noticed today when I went out to go to class that there was this ugly white scuff mark on one of my black stripes. I tried rubbing it, washing it and I can't for the life of me get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas? Its really annoying looking and I would hate to have to remove the stripes because of it.

Wow, that almost looks like someone took sandpaper to it. I'd google vinyl touch-up and see what turns up before you do any more damage.

majic eraser wont do anything
pal im pretty sure there ruined it does look like they were rubbed with an abrasive therefore rubbing through the color of the viny, either try to paint to match or bye bye stripes, but you can always give buffing compound and a polisher a shot but the prognosis isnt good

yeah I was afraid that it had ruined the paint on them. Man darn it... ok I guess if they are ruined what would be the best way to like mask it till I can get some new stripes? The mask doesn't need to look flawless just something that isn't as noticeable. Any suggestions?

yeah I figured that they were done for but I just want something temp to make it look alittle better till I can get some new ones. Well I guess this gives me an excuse to get some light colored stripes like I have been wanting for awhile.
