For down the road repairs try Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black touchup, worked good for me on self inflicted scratches

Just use some Aluminum Black Touch-Up to fill in the engraving. I think thats what my engraver used when he filled in the 3 SBR's i've had done by him.
What my SBR looks like with it filled in. Beats having a sticker or something.
This happened to my S0. I used some Aluminum black on it. Couldn’t see it afterwards.

It's already anodized? Casey Birchwood Aluminum Black works great for small scuffs and scratches left by the jig or whatever. It won't, however, be able to blacken massive blank spots like the inside of the FCG area. I was surprised to learn that when I swabbed the inside of one and it came out looking horrendous. Absolutely awful looking.
Don't know why, but it worked really really well for the small exterior scratches that my jig plates left on it.
Past that, rattle can works fine in my experience. I specifically recommend Krylon NOW series Wrought Iron Flat Black (21211). Out of the handful of paints I've used, that dries well and color matches almost identically to all my upper receivers. But on raw aluminum, it will chip right off. Not entirely, but I've got some bare spots on the edges of my magwell and around my trigger/firing pin.
Edit:

Again, that will only work on already anodized parts. You can't use it to anodize a blank part.
Their perma-blue works surprisingly well on steel, which I used to restore my grandpa's Astra 400 (because I didn't have the time or resources to set up nitre-bluing as it was a Christmas gift.
Some also use this after milling:

This stuff is pretty good. Worked for small scratches on my slide.

Or give it a good ol cerakote

that's your castle nut. there are products like aluminum black if it bugs you.
Personally - after my first few scratches, I stopped caring. You can tell my rifle gets used and I think it looks good with a little character.
Don't worry too much about the finish, you're going to use the rifle and the finish will take marks if you're doing it right.
If you really scratch it good (down to bare aluminum) get a bottle of [Aluminum Black](BW Casey Aluminum Black Touch-Up 3 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JCW2CG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jZMEybEAYVV1A) and all will be well.
Aluminum does not rust...also if you scratch the finish off the lower you can use this to touch it up.

Never tried it personally, but maybe something like this would work well for you.
