Unfortunately, Harvey's problem is not with his car's paint anymore. It's with his wife's opinion of the car's paint. So you're absolutely right, Harvey. You've got to make it look good. First, I'd take the car to a body shop and ask them to compound and buff out the area you scratched.
Car paint is pretty tough stuff.
And it's likely that most of what you're seeing is the paint from the garage that's covering the Mojave Beige. Removing that garage paint and buffing out the area around it might solve most of the problem. If that doesn't work, then you can always call your insurance company. That's what insurance is for. Even though you caused the scrape yourself, you're probably still covered.
