Totally my fault. Scraped parking in a tight spot in the garage.

Is this an easy fix for an expert or we talking a whole panel respray?

A local firm do these for about £200, a workshop rather than a mobile service.

Touch-up from EBay £9.99 and then you won’t be so annoyed when you do it again.

My thoughts on the touch up pen for 9.99 as well.

Its in a hard to see place and you won't notice it at all once touched in. I've done similar on previous cars

+1 for the touch-up pen... try Chipex.

You'll barely notice it.

I would also go down the touch up stick route, it'll be all but invisible to the casual observer once touched up due to colour and location.

Touch up an easy job for an amateur like me?

Watch the Chipex video and see. Looks straightforward.

If you use a normal kit I recommend using a finer brush than those provided.

IIRC it's a super rare C7 Z06, so I'd at least be getting a proper smart repair.

Yes, that's a fair comment, I don't think anything but the best will do. Time for ££££ frown
