Ouch... at least it's in the sill and not in the middle of your hood!
You'll probably get a lot of suggestions on this, but my method is to use a
small sable hair watercolor brush to fill in the area in a few layers so I
can control the thickness and to make sure to flow the paint to the edges.
Sand carefully with some 320 and work your way to something finer
(600-1200). Use some polishing compound and some good wax to get the shine
back. If you have waxed the car before, use a degreaser to remover the wax
around the area first.
