Scratched... Now what?

Okay, so I let a friend drive my car. In retrospect, I should have mentioned how low the car is. I didn't. He parked and scraped the underside of the spoiler. I'm upset about it, but it was an accident. I know it's just a car, but it makes me sick to think that there's a blemish. Looking at it from afar, you don't see it as bad. From close up, it sucks.

So, here's the question. Should I just buy some touch up paint? Granted, it wont look great, but at least it will cover the white scratches. I think I should hold off on having it painted because I will be lowering it soon. Once it's lowered, there's a higher probability that it'll scrape again. If I do use touch up paint, will it be just as easy for the shop to sand it and professionally paint it?

What are your thoughts? Here's some pics.
