Gouged paint in door ding

It seems sometime in the past day or so, someone parked next to me put a small ding in my car, where the dent itself is minimal, but they gouged the paint! (I think it was the bottom corner of the door on a truck).

It's scratched about 2in long, in 2 separate, similar shaped scratches (door open and close).

It's not buffable as it is visibly gouged out to the metal. I'm wondering what steps I should take to possibly repair this? I was reading something about getting the touch up stuff, but finding out which product will match the paint perfectly (I do have a black car), and using a medical syringe instead of a brush to fill the gouge, letting it dry and buffing it so it is smooth.

Though I am going to have my car in the body shop next week to spot fix an area that was chewed up in the bumper (was there when I bought it), and are already gonna have paint mixed. How much extra do you think they'd charge spot fix the door?

Edit: Oh I just found this other thread, It seems to come out nice, though would it be more worthwhile to have it painted and cleared?

Try the wetsand and buffing method first, if you have the tools. You really have nothing to lose, the scratch might go away depending on the depth. But as for the dent, obviously not.
Finish it up with some touch up paint for now, until ready to be repaired. (Painted)
