That's not going to completely buff out, but that's a good place to start. A good chip kit, carefully applied, should make it less visible close up, and invisible from a few feet away. I've used the OEM version successfully in the past. Has a two-part kit, base color and clearcoat.

Sucks, but chips are going to happen.

Many thanks for the advice. I saw a video about using Dr. colorchip to fix damage like this. Is that similar to what you mentioned? If not, could you share a link to the product?

Looks like a rock impact. You should be able to touch up the removed spot. Larry has a video on it, using a tooth pick if I recall.
it doesn't get more forgiving than silver. You should be able to make that unnoticeable.
