Don't got through insurance. I would get it touched up and have a clear bra put over it. You shouldn't even be able to see it was touched up.

if you know what your are doing, yo can do it your self, apply the paint let it dry overnight wetsand then compound and polish and you are done. dont attempt this unless you have done it. before.you can make this much worse,

you can always call a detailer in your area.
