Default Paint Damage - Touch-Up Paint?

So I know the general concensus seems to be that if paint damage is minor, the OEM touch-up paint can be a fairly reasonable match to paint... I'm trying to figure out how to best deal with some damage done to the car... Ordered a kit from Sewell, but I'm now having somewhat second thoughts at using touch-up paint to fix this damage (and doing it myself)...

Sad day for the little car... luckily, doesn't look really bad..

ouch how did this happen? id be pissed.
as far as using the touch up for this itll work but i doubt itll look that great. ive used the touch up for minor rock chips on the front bumper but nothing this big. maybe some1 else can chime in.

Let a friend grab the car... I've never let anyone drive the car, but it was ~200 feet, so I thought I'd be OK... was parallel parked, and he merged left and clipped the person in front of me... No damage to the other car, at all. My paint was all that went off... go figure...
