Road Debris damnit

So im on my way to the movies and im on the highway and i hear something hit my passengers door, it was a pretty loud bang so i hope to god its not bad cuz im one of those meticulous people that even as small as a 1 cm scratch will piss me off. I get to the theater and i go look at my passengers side door... and oh look i have 3 - half inch scratches all 1 cm from each other in a straight line on my passengers side door. I look at it and say "Please dont be deep, i'll just buff them out when im home", i then touch it - stand up and yell a few choice words. So yup, u guessed it ; its deep. So i had to sit through Fred Clause with this stuff on my mind, and since i have an NPB, i came up with the bright idea of, hey il just go get a sharpie and apply my kindergarten skills and color it in. The good news is that covered the scratch up and you cant even tell it's there for now, but my question is... should i go get it repainted now? If so how much will it cost or should i just touch it up... here are some pics... take a look and let me know, thanks in advance for the help.

Touch it up.........I remember when I bought my Expedition (it was black), Ford sent me a touch up pen in the mail. I thought that was nice of them.
Of course about 2 months after I had it some knuckle head nicked my door in the parking lot. That touch up pen made it disappear.

Touch it up. Get a qaulity touch up pen, youll forget it's there and no one else will see it.

I'm not sure what I'm more angry about. The road debris or yourself using a sharpie pen on a $30K + car... Whatever works though I guess

I only used a sharpie for now.... and you cant even see it after that, you kind of have to look for it, and i dont want to keep seeing these three white marks over and over, and in RI the nearest Dealership to go get a touch up pen is like 40 minutes away from me and with school and stuff going on it isn't that easy to just run out and get one.

Order it on line, should be shipped to your place by Friday. If your that anal, have it sent over night. Can't order it from the stealership? Plenty of places on the internet to find it, you could have done a few minutes ago. So get your thumb out of your ass-close the tranny porn website and order something to make your ride look nice again.
