Default Need Advice: Scratch on Daytona Gray Pearl (2019 Audi Q8)

Hello guys! I just got a scratch on my 2019 Audi Q8 with Daytona Gray Pearl color (LZ7S). It's on the side front bumper and the wheel well area.






Seems that the scratch might be reaching the paint layer or even deep to the metal layer (though for this two spots it's probably plastic inside?); yes and the wheel rim..

Has anyone dealt with this kind of issue before? Since it's not very serious but also not minor -- should I head to a body shop or DIY?

If I go DIY, are putty and filler needed here? Also, for the paint and clear coat, given the special pearl effect on Daytona Gray Pearl, I'm wondering if that requires a special type of custom paint to match it correctly.

Any product recommendations or tips would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
