if it is just some curb rash and not too bad, then any collision shop should be able to sand, putty and spray it for you.  We did them at Autometrics all the time.

just fyi, Autometrics is pretty good at matching colors.  They have special gizmos for that (as do most paint shops these days). 

Happy hunting!
