Melted spot on pipe

While I was on a long roadtrip I didn’t notice until I had to stop and get gas but the anchor for my right side bag had come out and part of the bag was riding on the pipe.
I had zip ties in my tool kit and was able to keep going without issues.
Unfortunately its left a burnt spot.
Should I take sandpaper and clean it up and use some high temp black paint? It’s not exactly matte black like the engine but might not be noticeable if I do matte.

Thoughts?
