How much does it cost to fix 2 deep scratches on a car?

I don't know when or how it happened but this morning as I was taking in groceries from out of my car, I noticed what looked like dirt/mud from all the dirt and snow around in this New England weather. As I went to wipe it away, I realized it was not dirt and it was paint scratched off my car. There are 2 of them one on top of the other about an 1/2 inch apart from each othet, and probably an inch long. It looks like someone might have done it on purpose for I am choosy where I park and how I park so I figured someone might had done it out of spite knowing I try to keep the body of my car in good condition since I bought it a year ago and like to keep it nice. I just want to know where is the best place to fix it and how much does it generally cost to have it fixed without it costing me an arm and a leg.

    It costs whatever ONE crayon of similar color costs! I'm serious! You can buy touch up color paint, but that always looks like it's been "touched up." You can have a body shop do a touch up and buff, but it still will show (probably only to you though), or you can have a section refinished entirely. Anywhere from 10 bucks for a tube of touch up color (I'll post a link below) to 1000 bucks for a repaint.

    A crayon rubbed over the scratches then polished with a soft cloth will stay for a while. Try it and see!
