The clear coat is really thin especially on plastics. If you are lucky, you probably rubbed down to the base coat. I would go to Autozone or pep boys and pick up a clear coat touch up pen and dab very, very lightly on that area, maybe even use some type of foam brush with a small tip and dab it on.

Or go to your local dealer and get touch up pens. There is base coats as well as clear coats for each vehicle. Cost like $10-12 a bottle. Better to go OEM than the latter.
