Concealing "Abrasion" Marks on Anodized aAluminum "Roll Up" Doors

I had a pair of 10'x10' anodized aluminum "roll up" doors installed in my photography studio. There are a few dark "abrasion" marks in a few spots and I can't tell whether this is in the anodized coating or on the actual aluminum slats themselves. The issue here is purely cosmetic, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to hide these marks - either with a carefully applied paint or perhaps some other kind of concealer. thanks for any help.

I suggest filling in the scratches or whatever with Bondo [affil links] or other body filler, and paint with the same color paint as used before.
