Can I use leather paint to cover faint scratches on my leather jordan 5?

So my pair has some faint scratches from coming into contact with the pointier edges of my moped (I tried to highlight them in the photo attached but it doesn’t show up very well on camera) and I am wondering if I can just cover it up with some leather paint. And if I can, do I need to rub the area with acetone before hand? My guess is that I don’t since apparently the point of rubbing acetone on shoes before painting is to remove the stock glossy finish but the finish on mine is already removed because of the scratches.
