I'd second the nail polish suggestion, but I'd suggest some approximately matching colour rather than clear, as it will be easier to see if/when that gets rubbed off. My Romulus came back from being ridden by my nephew with a few scratches through the paint on the frame. I just cleaned those areas with Isopropyl Alcohol, dabbed on some nail polish, and the polish is still in place and doing the job over a dozen years later.
