Does it catch your nail? If it does then it's probably going to have to be wet sanded and then compounded and polished out by a professional, I don't recommend wet sanding yourself if you have no experience with it.. If your nail doesn't catch it's probably just a scuff, however that looks like a key mark to me.

+1....

A close up with a better camera might help us give you some info, but it looks pretty close to a repaint (maybe)....sorry...

You can try wetsanding it and compounding it, but I'm going to go with a 99.9% chance you'll need that sprayed.

Wow. The heartless bastard that did that deserves all the bad karma he can handle.
