Well if you're looking for a cheap solution you could try getting one of those cheap buffers at an auto parts store and buffing/waxing it, but I don't know if that will work for a really deep key mark. Perhaps an auto detailing place would have the equipment that could do it.
Also, if you have a fairly common car with a common color, you might be able to find a hood at an auto salvage yard nearby that you could purchase for cheaper than what a auto body shop would charge to repaint/replace.

Get the hood re-painted. The damage is probably too deep and/or too large for touch-up paint or to be buffed out.

You don't say how old your car is, or what shape your paint is in, but I would look for a shop that does colour-melt service. If your hood is suited to that, it is cheaper by far than repainting.

repainting or salvage yard is probably the cheapest. check with your insurance though, they could cover the cost.

You are better off buying a whole new car.
