It will need a re spray and blend into the adjacent panels for proper paint match. If you don't want to go that far just touch it up yourself.

Touch it up yourself. Non-metallic is easy, and white is especially easy.

Overfill the scratch with lacquer touch up paint, then cover the end of a putty knife with part of an old white tee shirt and apply lacquer thinner. Carefully wipe the overfilled crack and reduce it to the level of the surrounding paint. Compound, polish, wax. Done. It might no come out perfect, but with a little care it will be almost invisible.

Drive it over to my place and we will fix it together.

Go to Dr Color Chip and buy their touch up paint. It will fill in the scratch and blend in such a way you can't tell. I have used this on several metallic colors and by following the instruction, obtain perfect results.
