If it just scratched the surface you may be able to fill it in with Mercedes touch-up paint. The paint is around $20. The service advisers at some dealers keep some of the colors in theirs desks and will touch it up for free since it needs a very little amount of paint. I have touched up a couple of minor nicks in by bumper this way and you can't really see it unless you get down on your knees and look real close.

Then your best bet is bring it in a body shop. It's about $200-400 depending where you bring it?

When I used to drive Chevrolet Cruze, I hit the curb a few times and scratched the body parts as well . I just filled the white parts by black paint , it made no difference at all
Good thing , there seems no crack otherwise you would need a pro body shop
