Even better would be to sand the bad areas down to feather edges, then
prime the bare wood to build up a primer layer, which may take a couple
of coats of primer. Then sand this primer area down to flat with the
existing paint, and finish paint. Just feathering out the damaged area
will most likely result in the repair showing.
My experience is feathering paint to bare wood generally doesn.t work
too well. Prime the wood, - several coats if necessary, then feather
the repair - then paint.

This way you do not have a "raw" paint edge to work with - the paint
is always "sealead" to the wood when you are sanding and painting.so
the edges won't lift, cut, or curl.
