Some idiot scraped My Z, need help

Well, worse case scenario i could always repaint at a body shop, so is it worth a try to grit it down and then use the touch up paint that comes in the spray can form ? and put some clear coat on top of it to give it some shine. I've got no problem if the difference is minor.

No, it will look worse than it did with the paint scraped away unless you're really experienced at spraying and blending using a rattle can... and even then, it looks bad.

dont go cheap. I have a paint guy i met at a Nissan Dealership. He does their cars and other dealers and rent a car companies. He'll dry sand, wet sand match the paint and apply a clear coat.
