Wow even with a fix my fear would be that this could happen again else where on the car or expand.

If it where my 06 show car she'd go right to the body shop.

If it where my daily driver,

I would water sand the scratch smooth. prime and rattle can paint...Mask off using the body line just above the scratch as a boarder clear coat afterwards

Dupli color has videos on their website about touching up paint

I would do what everyone said with a rattle can and wet sand it then buff it. I have done this and it comes out fine even if you do a crappy job at painting it. As long as you wet sand and buff it, it will be fine.

The rattle can thing is very risky, I did it once and it came out great, but 10 of my friends tried it too and it came out worse than when they started. I say since it's your daily just leaving or touch it up remember its still a daily driver.
