Aaaargh! Are you kidding me? - Skin scratches
After all the precautions I took.
I even left the plastic on...the cleco managed to make a tool mark!
I have a few holes like this...maybe 3-4.
And yes, I'm feeling it big time with my nail.
So I guess I should go with : sandpaper, scotchbrite and alodine?
It's on the HS - Exterior skin

If this upsets you that much, you probably shouldn't finish the airplane.

Then the whole plane will get scuffed, sanded if necessary and primed -- stuff like this will completely disappear. You can spend extra years worrying about it while you build, or days getting rid of it before you paint.

You will spend almost exactly the same amount of time to prepare the rivet hole to the left as the bulls eye one. Maybe one more rub with the scotch brite.
If you are worried about what will cover and what won't, take a scrap piece of aluminum and make some scratches like you have, dress them with scotch brite, and paint them. The rest of your build will be much less stressful.
