Default Slamming my head against the wall

So I was getting out of the car and the door swung open hard (ok so maybe I let it).. and it hit a jackstand on my garage floor... and made about a 2" scratch on the lower part of the door near the sill...

I ran my fingernail over it and you can't put your nail in it, so it looks like i can be buffed out/touched up.. but you can feel a bit of difference in the paint...

A.) What's the best way to fix this? I've been waxing on it, and it's still visible... Touch up paint?
B.) What's the best method to touch up? I was going to go grab some BSP paint at Scion tomorrow or a pen... but not sure what works best
C.) Does that buffing compound crap with the tint in it work? Or is it better to touch up?

Thanks in advance guys!!

A pro detail shop can get most if not all of it out.

It wasn't right next to the door, just in the vicinity (motivation to clean my garage)... the scratch is not bad enough for bondo... just needs some touch up paint done right... and i've not done it in YEARS... need to find a good tutorial and get some paint.. or just have the body shop do it...
