This is what I would do depending how much $$ it is to fix. I'm very OCD though. Should be between a $100-$200 I'd imagine Good luck

Now OP has a color but if he can't find, just look at the many small touch up pens at AutoZone, Advanced Auto etc and get one that is close. Lots of silver metallic!
