How to fix paint after car was keyed?

Hey everyone, my car was keyed while I was at work yesterday. What can I do to fix it or make it less noticeable? Are high quality paint pens a good idea?

Sorry to see this. On light colored cars, I have had good luck with those fix a scratch pens if the scratch is not to deep. Metal needs to be warm for optimal results.

Thanks for your response. I was hoping a pen could fix it. I was actually looking into a scratchwizard kit because they've had great reviews and seem pretty straightforward.

With a pen it would have to be sanded down to be even.
