hey OP

if you haven't taken care of this yet, you may want to consider taking it to a pro detailer first to see if some clear coat work can do the job. the scratch actually doesn't look too terribly deep in the pictures you posted. i was really surprised to find out how well a good detailer was able to get rid of pretty serious scratches. if you want to consider that route, reach out to this guy:

Distinctiv_Detailing

he's better than any shop i've been to; an engineering student who invested in some pro equipment and who loves cars and does extensive detail work to a few cars every weekend. you can check out his work on his website.

if the scratch def. warrants paint work, then i second williams auto body in san mateo. the guy did minor paint work on my PW after a parking lot injury, and he paint-matched the three step pearl paint flawlessly. i know PW is tough to match, so i think that speaks to his skill. as a bonus, he also flat-blacked my front fangs and rear fascia for an extra 300$ on top of the repair cost. not bad at all (and it made the repair something to look fwd to).
