Default Best way to fix scuffs/scratches on roof?

I just took my hardtop out of storage. There are a few scuff/scratch marks on it. The black paint seems to have scratched off and a little bit of white is showing underneath. What is everyone using to fill in the scratch/scuff marks?

Thank you for the info. I drove under a low tree branch on a mountain road and got a looooooong gouge across the roof. I'm not too concerned as not many people can see the top of the roof.

Didn't know if you guys saw the other post but in the write-ups section. They had a guy who used the Duplicolor Bedliner on the inside and the outside of his hardtop.

It does sound funny, but a black marker really does do a pretty good job. The ding I fixed has stayed black for 8 months now, it matches pretty well too.

Black marker worked for me after an x-friend guided me into a low limb.
