Default Help with fixing chip/scratched fender....

ok... i busted my fender up.. i have like a 2inch by 1 inch chip (i know its big) and then a scrape which runs along my fender.. its NOT EASY to notice but you'll notice it...

i bought touchup paint from the dealer... i hear to use bondo but im not sure... i was going to prime it.. with a black primer.. then use the bsp touchup paint for the final coat.. then depending on the gloss i would clear coat it... do anyone have any suggestions or ways to do it ???\

here are the pictures...
(first one is colored in with a sharpie so mom didnt notice)

Give it more than 31 minutes and you just may get an answer.
