Ouch. Around here Canadian Tire has sunlight silver matched PerfectMatch spray can for $12 or so, and another $10 or so for a can of clear. In the US perhaps AutoZone or similar? I've fixed cone rash and other blemishes with pretty good results, you can tell a difference under some lighting conditions if you know it's there, but for $20 can't complain.

Loki, I am going to check into that, had no idea brother. Thanks.
It would be great if I can find some cheap paint that’s a very near match. Auto OEM paint has doubled in price this year.
What sucks is that this is metal scrape just bad enough to probably require minor sanding, primer, paint and clear coat to fix properly?
At any rate, if I can fix this in a way that costs less than roughly $150 it would be great because the 8 has 148,000 miles on the original motor and has been really reliable. It’s about to become a 2nd car of mine but I still want to keep it and drive it once or twice a week.
i don’t know what it’s worth, but I can’t justify a large body shop price tag to fix this damage given the age and mileage.
Mods, move this if you so deem but I’m trying to get exposure.
I need way less than a pint of sunlight silver paint guys, which is pricey as hell.
if you have maybe 1/2 a pint, give me a shout. Thanks
Ouch This sucks
Had a similar thing happen though yours wasn't as bad as mine. Don't be afraid of the color match paint Loki recommended vs OEM. It will look identical in the finished product.

You will need to sand, bondo then paint and clear coat to fix this damage properly. If you dont have the budget or knowhow, you can use WD-40 to get any paint transfer off. You could also try touching it up but it wont look that good.
