Got a big scratch

Ugh. I just scratched the side of my car going into my garage. What's the best way to make it look decent without taking it somewhere? Its a scratch about 6 inches long and right above the rear wheel, and pretty much down to the metal. Any suggestions/ recommendations on touch-up paint sites?

best thing that i would tell you to try and make it look halfway decent and not stand out as much...is to get a clay bar the same if not close to your color. Rub the clay bar right into it....and then i would apply a few coats of a decent wax. Dont get me wrong you'll prolly still see the stratch....but it will be the same color....less conspicuous and will blend in so it dont stand out. Many of the auto parts stores sells touch up paint.....all sorts of ranges of colors for makes and models. Hope this helps.
