Just have a good detailer correct the paint, scratches are easy to remove..paint it white??? really? ( don't forget door jams, under hood and trunk, etc...might as well sell it and buy a white car )

btw - I am F'in insane about paint condition, you are not alone...

I usually purchase my C300s in 6 packs. Once fine scratches become visible I know it is time to torch it and start over.

But seriously, cars get some light scratches and dents... there are more important things in life to worry about

Paint correction via a good detail guy is well worth the money. Especially if you have a dark colored car. I learned how to do it myself. Invested a little money and now don't have to worry about someone else doing it. It's a twice a year job. Done deal and I saved some loot. autogeek.net is your friend.
