Default Gun Metallic Z with first light blue scratch?

Just saw my first scratch on my 2012 Gun Metallic Z. I noticed two vertical scratches on the front fender and bumper is light blue in color. Is the light blue I am seeing, the base coat/primer of the car? Not sure if the scratch is surface or has went down to the base coat or primer. Any help will be appreciated.

We would be able to give a better recommendation if you could share pics.

I think the blue you are seeing is from what scratched the car and not the base.

I recommend this if the scratch is through the paint

Avoid oem touch up paint.

If the scratch is only in the clear coat you can probably buff it out.
