I had a great experience with dr.colorchip and Carrera White, I would use a bit of compounding polish to clean up the area, and then some isopropyl alcohol to clean it. It might take a few minutes to get used to the way dr chip works, but I did a repair about 2 months ago, and it's almost invisible unless you know where to look. and it beats the price the body shop quoted me (over2k) to fix.

You might be able to get a body shop or a mobile repair place that your dealer uses to just paint that edge, since it is right on a body line it would probably blend decently well and would prevent you from having to repaint all of it.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Color chip. The important thing is to get paint on the scratches so they don't rust - unless it's on plastic.

That can be sanded/filled/primed/painted/blended by a skilled mobile painter. Probably what por944trs expertly does.

A good touch up guy can make that look new. Maybe ask your dealer's used car department who they use and call that guy. I have seen some incredible results that a qualified person with a little airbrush can accomplish
