I would suggest looking into Dr Colorchip. They typically make some great kits.

I saw below message at Dr Colorchip website, I still thinking about this.

This is a tri-coat pearl / 3-stage color, meaning it was painted with a base coat, pearl coat and tinted clear coat. There is not a single color formula that exactly matches. However, the paint you receive should allow for a very close color match and yield far better results than using regular touch-up paint. Please check the box to acknowledge this.

Remember that any touchups performed are not designed for aesthetics, but for protection against oxidization/rust :)

Patience in application and a methodical approach, and I'm sure you will be fine. There are some sites as well that sell 'decals' or 'stickers' that are for this purpose. Larry @ AMMO NYC has a video on them, and they actually looked pretty good. I would say do a touchup first, then use one of those stickers to really blend it in if looks are of concern.

Where do you have damage that extensive? Personally if it were that large, I would be re-spraying the panel. Penny size chip is big!!

You could do a regular touchup still and again use some of those vinyls to blend it in, but without having experience with touching up paint, doing an area that large will be difficult without investing in tools and different products. Either way you touch it up, it won't look that great afterwards. But hey, at least it will be protected.

I got a hit on left rear bumper near the wheel. This is my 1st car and I have no idea how to use a touch up.

You seem to be much worse off than me. For some generic road chips, I used a RustOleum clear coat pen just to prevent rust over time, but I'd suggest dr. colorchip for your case
