Default nice sunny day...

Today was a nice sunny day, so I took some pics of my white pony However there was an issue...something hit my car, now I have fender damage









Now the bad image - forgive me about this being as large as it is, but you need to see the details. I cleaned and I found out it has multiple scratches (down to the metal) Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix?

How bad are the scratches? Something touch up paint could fix?

I totally agree, but at least its kinda white

I think it would cost around $500 just to fix it - guess I will have to deal with it for now...

Did you match the color code listed on the door jamb to the color code of the paint you used? There is a paint code WP that is called Performance White and a paint code HP that is called High Performance White. While in many publications Ford refers to the white on the S197s as Performance White, you will probably find that it is really High Performance White, which is a slightly different color.

You should see the scratch on my driver's side fender... it's MUCH worse and I've had several quotes ranging from $450-300.

A friend of a friend who works with cars said he knows someone that can repaint my fender for $100.

I'm worried about quality issues, probably worth paying the extra money.
