Tesla model 3 my22 ppsw paint repair

Hi guys,

I want to repair the paint myself and i have done a lot of researches.
I have a few questions as below:
1. Touch up paint kit is not working on this kind of large scratch, is it? (no matter Tesla or Dr colorchip)
2. I'm trying to purchase prime filler, base coat and clear coat and wax polish to repair the scratch. Is it possible for someone without any experience...lol
(I live in Australia. If i go to supercheap auto, Are They providing perfect color match for Tesla?)
3. If i cannot fix it myself, does anyone in Australia or Sydney can recommend a cheap and reliable car repair store?

Many thanks.

Wow, it's kinda big. You could spray it with primer filler then wet sand it down with maybe 1500 sandpaper to fill depressions and smooth it all out. Then top coat it layer by layer with sanding in between dried coats. Location is not readily visible so you should be OK. This is just my opinion.
