Yeah, it's a Dolphin. Chips, scratches and dings just add character.
Plus, cheap ukes can be hit or miss. If you like the Dolphin you've got, you might be disappointed in another. If the damage hasn't affected the uke's structure or playability (and it sounds like it hasn't), I'd be inclined to just let it go.
You would be surprised at the range of colors you can find nail polish in these days.

If you color in the scratch via one of the numerous ways mentioned here, even if it's not perfect, it will hardly be noticeable. Of course, it's one of those things that you'll probably notice because you know it's there, but it won't be obvious to most people unless you point it out.

You don't even need to go to a hobby store. Just hit up your local CVS or other big chain drug store. They often display stuff by brand instead of category, e.g., you won't find all the nail polish at one display and you might have to look at the Sally Hansen section and the Revlon section, etc. to see all the available color variations.
If you're a single guy, this might be a fantastic opportunity to meet the opposite sex, too. Whether it's an employee or just another female shopping in that area, bring your uke and ask for help picking out a fingernail polish to match.
I mean, who could resist helping a guy toting a uke and trying to find the right color to match?
