The upper scratch might just be in the clear coat. The gouge beneath it goes into the skim coat beneath the paint.

Look up Colors on Parade in your area. They repair the cars for dealerships. They color match and airbrush automotive paint. They do good work.
Gotta build that deep one back up with primer and color and reshoot clear over it , then dry, then sand and finally buff it out. Friend just had some bigger areas than that shot on a Pantera. Body shop matched it well and looks pretty darn good. Had to take it in for a week. Not a home job unless you paint Steve. And I would not try those rattle cans personally.
Silver is a Bit@$ to touch up… I think you end up with the whole door….
I checked with Kirk Evans who painted the car and here is what he wrote:
That is fortunate. Let me see if I still have some paint. If it were here, I would use an airbrush to fill the clear and blend any color into the deep area then fill it with clear. No way to get a perfect match that way if the paint is damaged but a lot of times tiny flaws are really not visible to most people. You will always see it because you know where it's at.That is a very high metallic color. What the original customer wanted, would not have been my choice because of touchup.
