Default Accident...

Just had a stupid accident on the way home. I wonder how much would it cost me to fix this... Serious deep scratch on both the right door, and the rear right quarter panel. I checked the prices are around 750$ for the metal plus painting and installation. Any recommendations about how to proceed?
