What sort of melon? Watermelon? Cantaloupe? In any case sounds pretty bad as melons are quite big, as fruits go.

No way to answer your questions properly without seeing a picture.

There are various means to deal with differing levels of scratches or abrasion on your paintwork. Shallow ones can be dealt with by using T-cut or a similar product. Deeper ones usually require a touch-up kit.

The finished result will only be as good as your skill or patience allows.
