Can you feel them with you fingernail? Are they on the surface (raised up) or are they in the surface like a scratch?
Can you get better photos with the area cleaned and in focus?

If you're feeling them with your fingernail and/or you're seeing the basecoat, they're too deep to remove with polishing methods.
My suggestion is that you take it by a body shop and start thinking about estimates. Another option is a 'air brush' chip-fix place (check your phone book for a Ziebart or similar - they may be able to help). Also, ask your local body shops for options - other than just a full respray.
A third option is touch-up paint but, that's a pretty big spot and it may be a tad challenging to really make it look right... Where is the scratch located?

It's not mine but, if it was, I'd be checking with a body shop that I know of and trust... I just don't think that I'd have the guts to give it a go -- although, that said, I don't think you can mess it up further... *shrugs*
Heck man... I'm not sure...
Anyone with more body experience want to chime in?
