Default scratches in rear quarter panel

Anyone have any idea what it'll cost to repair two 6" long scratches on a rear quarter panel just to the rear of the wheel well opening? Some JackAsh hit it and never bothered to leave a note or wait around to tell me. Just trying to see how much I should expect it to set me back. There goes the gears upgrade that I was hoping to do

This would depend on how bad the scratches are.......

Try asking a body shop. They should give you a pretty good idea how much it will set you back.

If it in not too wide you could try this product. I have used in and the color match is dead on.

Thanks guys, the scratches do not go down to the metal but each has a spot or two where it gets to the primer. I am going to stop by a body shop to see what they have to say and even if I get the touch up paint find out what they'd charge to buff the spots that don't go too deep. The situation still sucks but it's not as bad as it could have been. The car is my daily driver but I still want her looking her best!
