Scratches to front cowling - touch up paint advice

Hello I have a 17 plate Deep Impact Blue Titanium. Just had an altercation with a rock jutting out from a grass verge. There are numerous small scratches now around the front fog lights in the cowling area. What is the best touch up paint? There are so many from Halfords right through to kits on Amazon. Would you advise using spray paint, pen or brush kit?. Any advice gratefully accepted.

Thank You

    Hmmm, there are some deep gouges in there that need filling so unless you're willing to fill, sand down and spray a touchup kit isn't going to make that look any better 😞 Try seeing how much chips away or some similar company would charge?

    Yes, got to agree with Martin there. If it was an older car, or damage in a less noticeable place, I might have a go but I'd be inclined to get a quote for that one.
