How bad is this scratch?

Less than 1500 miles.
I park SUPER far from others, haven't hit anything or even come close, but found this today on my new ZL1.

How bad is it?

OMG you need a complete repaint! JK --- Do the fingernail test, if you can feel it get a pro to help. If you don't then it will buff out easily.

Bad enough… I would get this professionally done. Figure $350-400.....

You can get the color to blend in with DRCOLORCHIP, but to make it look like it never happened, it will take a professional.....

Yeah, can't feel it at all with the fingernail test, so here's hoping it'll buff right out.

Yea that just look like transfer of whatever did it. Will probably buff out with a compound or polish.

Start with less aggressive process first. I would try a clay bar first, then go up the aggression list from there.
