Just get some touch up paint from your dealer.

I would recommend the new touchup paint sticks. They look like HIGHLIGHTERS, they are alot easier to use and the final look is alot better than the standard "nail polish" style touch up paint. I believe most dealers are selling the "highlighter" style paint sticks.

If you cant find them at your local dealer, go to Color-Rite, they have a website where you can order them for like $6 a stick.

Depends on how deep it is...

If it's pretty deep, the touchup paint sticks will work
If its just a superficial scratch, a nice wax & buffing job will work just fine.

It's pretty deep...some hater made a couple of scratches on my rear passenger door. What type of buffing machine do you use ? I'm not very familiar with cars so I'm not sure. Thanks for the info

An orbital buffer w/ wax can usually buff out minor scratches (and wax your car)... but this sounds like it may be too deep for this and a job for some touchup paint.
