Default Key scratch?

Hello guys,
I had this key scratch for a long time. I tried to buff it out with compound and used Dr. colorchip. However, no luck and do not purchase Dr. Colorchip for chip or scratch repair. I was wondering whether I can call my local lexus dealer to set up an appointment to have my bumper/body panel of my choice done without painting the whole part (Only around the area where scratch is located). Anyone have any experience and if so, how did it turn out?

Or a place that deals specifically with scratch/dent repair. They will be able to do spot repairs a lot better.

The dealership may have a scratch repair facility they recommend or use, it can't hurt to ask. If not, check the phonebook.
