Ouch! Sorry that happened! Shouldn't dealer have it or can order?

That sucks - its likely that a diy touchup job will make it look worse.

See if a detail shop can get some of that buffed out.

That would be a lot of touching up. I would have a pro take a look at it. That being said, I always buy my vehicle touch up paint from the link below - including for my alto blue Maverick. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

Touch up paint will not fix those scratch marks. As others have said, you will probably need to go to a good detailer or a body shop for repair.

I would bring it to a professional, they can probably buff it so it looks good...touch up paint is just going to make it look worse.

Grab a container of car polish, not a waxing product, and a microfiber cloth and experiment on a couple scratches. That'll tell you if you need professional help. Avoid rubbing compound unless you're really careful. Utube can be your friend here.
Most likely most of those would buff out leaving a few to touch up and money in the bank.

After I was and waxed my truck this past weekend I found a few rock chips sp I just ordered one for pick up to my local dealer, they actually had it in stock. Alto Blue paint pen, it was $23

rock chips are different than oops scratches.

please take it to a professional detailer and get their opinion first.

Those are down to primer, needs paint.

Another alternative would be to color sand and remove a good part of the scratch where paint still resides, by removing most of the scratch it wont look as bad, but will still be there not as noticeable. Beats paying to repaint?

ouch, don't think DIY touchup paint will help you on that. Go to a professional body shop. If you don't want to do that, maybe try some black wax https://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-...eep-Reflections-and-Gloss-G6207-7-Oz/22083704

I agree with the other post for automotivetouchup, I have used their products on several different vehicles. Also recommend their "Micro Dabbers".

I agree with fossil, YouTube can be your best friend. If your at all handy, do it yourself. I got a keyed scratch on my tailgate courtesy of a neighbor. Went and bought a dual action polisher at Harbor Freight, got it on sale for $50 https://www.harborfreight.com/power...hrow-random-orbit-da-polishersander-64528.htm

I like the chemical guys products which you can buy in store if your near one or on Amazon. They have a ton of videos on YouTube, and say even as a beginner with the dual action polisher you can accomplish great results.

Your best bet is to swipe the other side so they match.
But seriously, I think that would be noticeable with the touch up paint since it’s a lot of area
