It depends on where the key marks are and how deep they are. If the marks aren't that deep, you may want to try a buffing compound first (you can get this at any auto store for about $10) and try that and see if it takes the key marks off. If that doesn't work, more than likely, the marks are too deep and have gone too far into the metal. You'll need to take it to an auto body shop and get an estimate. If you know of anyone that is very mechanically inclined, you could always find the part that you need at a junk yard and have that person put it on.

You will need to get the car painted though and you'll probably need to take the car in do to do that. You'll also probably have to paint the entire car, pending on how new the car is and how nit-picky you are. If you paint just a portion of your car, there is a chance it'll be a different tint or hue than the rest of your car.

If you're really not that nit-picky, and the key marks are too deep for the buffing compound, but you don't want to go through the hassle of finding and replacing, you can always go into an auto shop and get some car paint in a pen and just carefully ink in the key marks. It'll take a awhile, but it's MUCH cheaper than the find and replace option.
