Pick up a bottle of flat black touch up paint from your local autoparts store. It'll come with a small brush applicator. Even though it's "flat", it'll still have a slight shine and one that matches best to the paint on your top. It'll be your best bet to touch it up.

I've used a black sharpie pen. It's a cheap fix but camouflaged the scrapes nicely.

I always use spray truck box liner so it's got a texture like the top

I have tried the sharpie method as well. It is a decent temporary fix but fades after a few month. I might try the flat black touch up paint mention above and hopefully it lasts a bit longer

Ha ha....I know right!!! But a few weeks ago at calico my wife was standing lookout on a ledge and nearly shit herself when she saw the large scrapes inflicted upon the top while storing them in the garage. Doh........

Just saw on the TV that sharpie has an extreme fade resistant sharpie now. No idea how good it works though

I've heard that black shoe polish can work temporarily as well.

I had the same problem in multiple spots. I tried the factory pen/brush it was ok, but not good. The entire top just looked faded so I ended up repainting the entire top with Rust-oleum Universal Black Satin.
It came out looking like new, prep was easy enough. The result was worth it.
