Saw my name mentioned in the last post.
Scanned the thread, sorry if I missed it but,
What color is the truck? Can you catch your fingernail in the scratch.
Wet sanding and buffing will make it better maybe less horrible, but if your nail catches, it needs paint to be fully fixed

OK tux black is standard basecoat/clearcoat.
I paint that color fairly regularly. And I work at a private shop. It's pretty simple, any painter worth their salt will not have a problem with it.
If you want it totally fixed that will really be the only way.
It will never come out with a cut and buff. That will result in burning through the clear

I also have another bodywork question, however it is not related to the f150 could I message you? My wife has a Fusion and backed into a fourwheeler and messed the paint up. She didn't mess the bumper up, but the paint is bad in one spot. Would you care to take a look and tell me what you think will need to happen to get it fixed?

Thank you! So is that why you have to be extra careful with polishers, because they will burn through the clear coat?

As far as buffing itself, it's really all about experience. I could buff factory paint with a rotary buffer all day, and not burn through. But I've got 18 years XP now.
Sure message me, and I'll send you my email. I can't give it out over posts
