Don't give this a second thought. You just made your car yours. These cars are things to be used and enjoyed. They feel no pain. My grandmother's (born 1899) wisdom, "that's what bumpers are for." My Corvette has lots of nicks and dings. Badges of honor. A pristine Corvette- showing no signs of use is a thing (or rather an owner) to be pitied.
Stopped at an intersection to turn right, I had a yield sign and there was traffic coming. Guy behind me (NO INSURANCE, ILLEGAL ALIEN) decided he didn't need to stop (blamed me - believe it or not). It's fixed, $6K later (tub damaged, required replacement).

Damn, that really sucks. Uninsured and illegal...sort of reminds me of the meme below.
Getting a scratch on your vette is like jamming your funny bone, it hurts like hell for more than a minute and you think, “I don’t want to do that again.” Sucks dude - now make a hang down sign so you can be sure you pull in enough.
Well i just ordered some dr paint chip. I have some rock chips that need touch up anyway. Still pissed at myself.
You can also get on Ebay and there are ACDelco touch up paint kits that match your paint code. I had to get one for my car recently (purchased with a few small nicks). I had someone else do the work though.

I went to Lowes one fine sunny day with my Vert. While milling around, decided, TODAY is the day I'm gonna put that new roof on the Gazebo! Also needed some extra felt for the garage roof I was gonna be doing. Next thing I knew I had 9 bundles of cedar shake shingles and 3 rolls of 30# felt in the Vette. Top up, back to the house!
When first got my 99 C5 I went to the track and was waiting to get into the gate to pay my fee. A guy in front of me with a small pickup with a hitch decided to backup and hit me. Luckily he hit my license plate with the ball of the hitch. He bent the plate and scratch the the black plate holder. The car had a tiny little blemish which I was able to compound out. I made him give me 50 bucks for being a dumbass...
