You take it to a reputable body shop and empty your wallet.

Sorry, there's no cheap easy fix. Once upon a time there were colored waxes one could get and "fill" the cracks, but that's hardly a fix. Sad to see this, but all the best.

That's not a scratch. That's an impact. Only a repaint can fix it.

Looks like a sand, prime, paint, and clearcoat to me. I'd bodyshop it for repair.

Like everyone else has noted, I would find the best auto body shop I could find, and have them fix it!
