For minor scratches in the future, or even this scratch, you can go to Autozone and in the paint section there should be some brush+pen scratch fixers. There should be a color for your Honda. They had my Rallye Red color there :-)

You have to apply thin layers, and wait 30 min. for each layer to dry, and once done, apply a clearcoat. Kind of a long process, but it comes in the exact colors of manufacturers instead of an approximate shade.

Good sugestion
You could also try using rubbing compound once you have applied a few thin layers of touch-up paint. Apply it very gently to get the hang of it. This should even out the thickness of the touch-up paint to match the cars paint. Once your done with that use normal car wax to bring back the shine.
