Best fix for paint scratch?

Hi guys I hit a wall trying to avoid a pothole. It wasn't that bad of a crash but I over corrected too much. How can I fix this?

Body shop. That's more than a scratch.

The "scratches" pictured aren't the type of scratch you can correct with a cordless drill, a 4" pad, and some polish. In order to correct that way you need to have paint left!

Buy a Vette?

Seriously, that is something only a body shop can fix properly.

Touch up paint. A good detailer can make that disappear.
