Start first by getting some light polish, such as a swirl remover, and a micro fiber cloth and see how much of it will come out.
If you use one of those touch up paint pens, it will look like crap.
The black parts look like it could be something on top of the paint and not scratched into the paint. That is good news as the polish can clean that up.
If it still looks bad after, look into dr colorchip, way better than a touch up pen.

Looks like you have a couple of spots where the paint chipped (near the door seam) and the rest looks like paint transfer from whatever nicked your car. I'd get a polishing compound and try to remove the black marks that are not chipped and then finish it off with a touch of touch up paint and a wax or sealant.
Chemical Guys did a good video of removing a lot of the marks like those:

The majority of that will come off with a good polishing compound. I think I could get rid of 90% of that in about 45 seconds to a minute and a half. The rest of it would take touch up paint.
If you don't want it to look like a 3 rd grader fixed your car try the following at your own risk.
1. Use a toothpick to paste the touch up paint inside of the damaged area. You want to build up layers of touch up paint. Do several layers over multiple days. Clean between application & make sure it's 100% dry before adding a new layer the following day.
2. When you've built up enough layers that it's spilling over the flush finish of surrounding paint stop. Give it a week or so drying time before moving onto the next step.
3 Get some 2,500 & 3,000 grit sandpaper. Wetsand your blemish until you've leveled it off with the surrounding paint.
4. Use a dual action machine with a course pad and Meguaires 205 work your way down to Meguaires 105. Clean off all polish using IPA solution or some dish soap and water. When it's dry and clean apply some wax or your choice of sealent to protect your finish.
If you don't have the tools or skill take it to somebody who does. Worst case scenario is you screw it up and have to fork out money on a respray. (Which obviously is what you are trying to avoid.)
