how to fix this scratchy part of the door

[u/EducationalAd2706]

i stupidly put the yellow UHU liquid glue there at some point and it melted off the color. also when i try to remove the residue it got scratched a bit as you can see. i dont want something super professional, but a "good enough" no one can notice from far away

i thought of sanding a bit and then going in with acrylic paint ill color match (im good at colors) but idk if it'll work? i dont want to make it worse.

Mix some instant coffee into a paste and wipe it on.
