New girlfriend? Just kidding. Probably best just to take it to a body shop and have them “touch it up”. They should be able to spot spray and blend that back in. The usual touch up paint kit isn’t going to cut it.

Don't take it to to a body shop. Not for something as small as this.

Unless your OCD is crippling, buy some OEM touch up paint and with a toothpick, apply small amount of paint until the the damage is fixed.

I'd think insurance comp will cover this, maybe not. If so, I'd take it to a body shop

I’d probably try a little touch up, since it looks like it’s on the crease. Maybe I’m not seeing all of the scratches.

If that didn’t look right I’d bring to a body shop.
