Default Paint damage

an alcohol related failure led to some minor damage on the side cover of my '07 Street Glide. The paint isn't chiped, but it does have small dents in the clearcoat from landing on the rocks. anyone with some tips on repair?

I was in the garage, fortunately, not on the road. The last time I drove after a few, I rolled a brand new truck. But hey, thanks for the advice.
