Unfortunately with Matte paint, you can't do this. The polish with create a shine to the matte paint. Very frustrating for sure.
Yeah I figured that's why I suggested just filling it for now. Happened on my brand new street bike too which has a matte finish, let my dad borrow it and it came back with a big ol tank scratch from his zipper, I just banged a tank guard over the scratch. Maybe a craftily placed sticker can work for you too?!?
