There is no simple way. The major synthetic stock makers like Mcmillan, HS Precision, etc. paint their stocks with 2-component polyurethane paint. The webbing is the same type of paint. It is essentially solvent proof and very abrasion resistant. Krylon is not.

Colored epoxy kits like https://www.riogrande.com/product/colores-epoxy-resin-classic-colors-set/625485 allow you to make up a small quantity of custom colored epoxy that you can paint over the scratch. It is possible to get an exact color and texture match if you really want to, but it is time consuming, tedious, and requires knowledge of color mixing and use of an on-line color mixing calculator like this: https://trycolors.com/ Be prepared to experiment.
