    That's not a repair that T-Cut will fix. It needs sanding down properly, the deep scratches need to be filled with Plastic Padding Elastic (the flexible type), followed by priming and sanding. Once that's done, you then need a trip to Halfords to see if there is an off the shelf aerosol paint that is a good match. Take a small panel with you to compare with the paint swatches.

    ive done a fair few of these types of repairs, sand it down with a course grit in the direction of the scrapes, then get a finer grade and stick some paint on it. you will see its a repair, but its cheaper than buying new panels.
