I used the BMW touch up paint with the brush and it works pretty good.. it comes with a clear cost and the paint..

Best bet would be to wetsand it and polish it out. If they're deep they won't be as visible but a repaint is the only way to fix it 100%. In most cases touch up paint will stand out even more.

that's what I am afraid of... comes out worse and still see a black line popping out the surface..

I've used the paint pens for my car and it didn't turn out too bad at all. I would use some kind of tape on either side of the scratch to make it easier to apply... in case your hand isn't too steady. Do a light coat 1st and let it dry. See how it looks before using another coat.
I would also get the clear coat pen as well and do same once paint touch-up dries.
