Fix Scratches!!!

i got these scratches from when the keys were left inside the car and after tryin to open it, it got scratches on the side where the wire was being put thru.............

soo now how would i fix thiss.....i was thinkin about gettin some bondo filling it where it was damaged and sanding and priming it to get it to be smooth then paint it and put clear on it.... would this hold up ok......... it doesnt have to look perfect when i finish it but anything is better then how it looks now.....

heres the damage

body shop wont "touch it up". or at least i dont think they will. usually they take the whole panel off and spray it all at once.

google away and find some touch up paint matching your car color code.
i think its like $15 for a touch up bottle. I got some scratches i gotta take car off to. its on my to-do list. lol

F*uck that triple AAA sh*t, i locked my keys in my accord one time in my driveway when i first got it because i wasnt used to the dumb alarm system and some douche came by, looked like he was a strung out crack head and destroyed my side trim cause after 1/2 hour of attempts to open. i had it done another time beofre that and the guy came by, stuck the hanger in and literally 30 seconds later he opend it. no damage.

Yeah i would buy the touch up paint and do it but it would still look noticable because its kind of deep and its like a small dent n ****t....... im just gonna get some bondo and even all that out and sand primer and paint it...
