i've had friends that would get the touch up paint, this time make sure its the right color, but hey those things happen. anyway, touch it up with the paint, get a fine grit sandpaper, lightly wet sand that area, a fine grit shouldn't mess up the clearcoat, then once you wet sand it get some rubbing compound and buff the area. i haven't done it though...to scared to mess it up even more. good luck though fixin it all. if you do decide to do it yourself lemme know how it turns out.
