+1 for heat gun. The one I have is adjustable heat setting and a small tip nozzle. Basically as stated above start low and bring heat up. It's hard to describe without pics, but essentially when scratched it will look "white" where scratch is when temp is just hot enough the white section will start to sort of gloss back over to black.

I did this on a friends 370z and it worked fine.. I've done the same on many other cars. They all came out great when I started low and gently raised temps. The ones I have messed up in the past "there were a few due to learning curve" were due to me jacking the heat up and flashing the area around the fix. Those ended up requiring dye/paint afterwards to match properly due to discoloring around the area repaired.
