I did this exact same thing pulling into a parking spot and hitting a very high curb. I ordered paint matched rattlecans from automotivetouchup.com, masked the area off after sanding/prepping, and blended the area in with the factory paint with the base/clearcoat. Took a lot of wetsanding after that to make it look good a few feet away. It worth the money to see if you can get good results IMO, and if all else fails get it resprayed.

If you want a quick fix head to the dealership and get touchup paint with the brush in the cap, with some very minor sanding/prep you can mask it pretty well and it will look decent from 15 feet away
