scratched door thingy

hey guys, what type of paint or coating do you think is the surface of these scratches? it feels solid like powder coating, and doesnt feel like the same type of paint the car is. the car exterior paint has clear coat that would scratch if you run your nail on it, but here it has a different texture imo, anyone know if this is easily fixed to pro status? or is touch up paint my only option? some one told me touch up and buff and touch up and buff... but umm, idk if it works that way haha.. and yea this happened when they broke into my car, theres more scratches. just these ones are easier to take a pic of.

o lol, ok i'll redo the pics, dude read what i wrote at the top above the picture!! sum druggy guy i guess broke into my car, they bashed the window and the glass scraped it hella good. i wanna know if the surface is different then the exterior paint, if its the same, i'll try and buff it, but imo it feels almost like powdercoat or sumthin... thats why i havent touched it yet and am asking you guys what it is.
