before any remidial work is undertaken i would suggest identifying the culprit first otherwise there will be a repeat performance.

A "keyed" car is something very hard to hide.I have seen insurance companies pay to have the entire car repainted because of a "keyed" vehicle.I really have nothing to suggest because if you try touch up paint its still gonna be really noticeable.The best bet is to tell the place you work for the truth of what happened.The only other thing is to try to put a pin stripe over it but i'm sure that would be crooked as hell.Thats why your just gonna have to tell them the truth.Its not fixable unless the car is sanded and repainted.Sorry.

Disadvantages of lifter trucks?

Go thru your yellow pages under body shop repairs. Find a mobile company that specializes in small scratches like that. You didn't say long long the scratch is but they can work miracles. A lot of these comapnies use small air brushes and a light sanding and blend the scratch in with the rest of the paint, they even shoot a clear back on it so it shines.
But tell your company what happended, if you weren't at fault or even if you were, they will neeed to know as they norammly lease the car and the leasing company will closely examine the car when its turned in, if they detect a repair and you didn't tell them about it, they'll ask you why so just be up front, they may even pay for the repairs if they think it might detract from the cars appearance. After all, the car and you represent them. Good luck.
PS I had a mobile company do my Vette, and you how picky we are, they did a superb job in Northern Calif East Bay Area.

Can I change it myself ?
