Damn that sucks bro, some MF hating..
If it's deep I don't think u can just get it perfect.
Might be able to get a scratch remover kit like from 3M or something and buff it out good..
All it will do is lighten it up a bit but it will still be there. Especially black paint.
I'd go get a quote from a body shop or a detailer or maybe somebody else knows something.

Damn, may be able to buff it a couple times to lighten it up until you can fix it.
I'd be pissed

It's possible if it's not too deep a high speed buffer and compound could remove most of that scratch. High end car washes normally have someone that could do the job or a detail shop. Having our rides keyed is like our worst night mare! There's nothing good to be said for individuals that key someones car!!!

im say the start and end of the scratch would be thinninest and can usually be buffed out. the middle section is where it gets deeper lol.

I had a friend with a black mustang that used touchup paint to fill the scratch (Very carefully) then buffed several times to blend it.

Maybe Doctor colorchips or duplicolor paint pen would be good place to start for correctly matched touchup paint.

Here's a clip of a different technique

Or maybe best to just pay an auto detailer a couple hundred to fix it. Go to a detailer not an autobody shop. Autobody will just want to respray the whole panel.
