I feel like dying :(

I just got my used 04 TL three days ago, and it's got scratches today!
Totally feels like shiet now.
Anyway, so I slightly hit a car while backing up today. The car which got hit was barely damaged, and my TL got scratched quite badly.
My TL is silver exterior, and now it's got some black scratches.
So my questions are what's the cheapest way to fix it and how much will it, roughly, cost (I'm still a student who works part time only. ), and what kind of place do I go to get it fixed? (like Acura dealership, or any autoshop, or even buy some spray and do it myself?
Thanks in advance guys.

Depending upon howw deep the scratches are you may be able to get some scratch remover and buff them out. If not then it will need a repaint.

If you want to go cheap(ghetto) get a spray can of paint at home depot

They would be covered only if you can convince the dealer that it's a paint defect and not your fault. Good luck on that one

yeah something like a compound scrub works magic sometimes. You may want to pick some of that up.
