if you dont see the black plastic showing through you should rub it out with a microfiber rag and some rubbing compound ... then touch it up with some clear paint

speedway blue is a tough color to match if they just paint one pannel

there is only one paint code with no variences...... but a whole bunch of special formulas (meaning alot of people had to tint the crap out of the color to make it match)
so its pretty hard to get the color just right

Can't really say what you need without seeing a pic of the damage ... got any pics ?

It could be a simple buff job, it could be bondo and new paint. Can't say without seeing it.
