They definitely catch your fingernail. I have the Duplicolor Spray Primer and matching paint (Forest Green Pearl), but also have the paint pen. Not sure if I should hit the individual scratches with the pen or if there's a way to take the whole area down and use the sprays.
 
They look fine from your pictures. 🤔

dammit. I *always* have trouble loading pics on this site.

Door sills?

Clean the area according to the paint pen and give it shot.

When you decide you don't like that, you can sand the whole area until smooth, primer it and spray it with fresh paint. Not sure if that paint is dual stage, if so, you will need a clear coat also. It will not match the existing paint.

Personally, I would shop for some sill plate covers and let the next owner worry about it.

I had similar scratches on my tailgate opening. My $5 Walmart redneck fix (Camo duct tape) has held up for 8 years. I bought the door sill guards for the more visible areas. :cool:
