Is it the clearcoat only, or deeper? Have you tried polishing it out yet?

It looks like you could polish most of it right out without too much hassle, but that spot on the trailing edge of the rocker molding looks like the paint is gone. Get a bit of touch up paint in a can and you should be all set. Its on the bottom of your door and should be pretty darn easy to hide if not fix completely.
