Default Scratched the bajeezus out of my CAI pipe.

So I've gone to heck and back installing the cold air pipe on my Injen intake. Now the thing's scratched like no one's business on a visible part that sits in the engine bay.. Even worse, it's black, and it's scratched deep down to the silver. I've taken a Sharpie to it for a temporary fix, but is there a scratch filler/remover kit that someone would recommend for intake piping?

...don't say take the pipe out and get it repainted. I'm pretty accident prone, so I'll pretty much scratch it all over again. Man that fit is tight.

Is it powder coated? If it is, it's going to be hard to get a good looking match with any other kinds of paints...

I mean...you could try taping off around the scratch and getting in there with either a fine touch up brush and some black paint or some spray paint.

Nothing, in my opinion, is ging to look that great unless you repaint the thing...

I kinda had a feeling it would probably come to that. =\
