Well, if it is a deep cut, the T Cut wo not help. Yes, l would advice Priming first, this has 2 benifits. 1. something to sand against 2. helps protect from rust. Also my advice is to try and work in a largish area, this helps blend the paint in better.
Another option, is to take it to a speciallized shop, chips repears etc, are usually not that expensive.

Unfortunately, it will always look like you used a bottle of touch up paint with a brush even if the color matches perfectly. Best bet is to find a good body shop and let them take care of it, especially for the deep scratches. It the deep ones are not done properly, that will be the place where the cancer of rust will start.

l personaly wouldnt use primer. As by the time u sand it down ur area to paint will be larger, therefore drawing more attention to ur repair. best way is to apply as little paint to ur brush as possible or u will end up with large blobs. for a chip gently dab it with ur brush. a scratch requires an even stroke. Personaly l would use an fine artists brush as the one with ur kit r too large & apply too much paint. dont use the laquer until colour is dry as they blend together & change apperance. Good luck.

For small scratches: the T-Cut is a good option for those small scratches that the paint takes. It might not get out deep ones. Stone Ships: buy from ur Peugeot dealer the exact colour to match ur car. You only need the paint. Using a brush that has only a few bristles on it take a dab of paint that has been thinned down & drop it into the chip. Avoid putting primer or lacquer in it as it will fill out the hole even before u put the paint on. This will fill out the hole. When it is dry u can t-cut it if u want to but not right after or u will pull the paint out. Deep Scratches: Using a 'Chip Stick' (Halfords) fill in the scratches. To get a proper job done it may need a full panel spray, but this is difficult as the paint needs to be 'feathered' as u might notice the difference in colour of paint from one panel to another. Asking a specialist to do this will probably be expensive.
