I wish I could answer you on that one, but I honestly don't know. I would check around at several paint & body shops and get a few opinions/estimates, then go from there. Everyone's price should be similar, just make sure you feel comfortable/trusting with the one you you choose in the end to do the work.

Well, it's actually a really small and thin scratch. I don't believe it went down to the metal, I think it just broke the clearcoat a little. I'm going to wash it and wax it, see if I can buff it out.

If it's down to the sheetmetal, Scratch-X/etc won't help. Hard to tell from the pics if the white is sheetmetal or possibly flash from the camera. If it's just clearcoat scratched, Scratch-X will help.

Alright guys, I touched it up, looks alright, only problem is now the paint is a bit smudgy. Any way I can fix THIS or should I just get my *** down to a body shop?



This whole ordeal is giving me a major headache. I feel like I've messed up my car even though it's a little smudge. Please help, guys.

i know its gonna bother you, but dont go and repaint your door and fender. if you actually use the car you are gonna have some minor dings and scratches. Just the fact of life, just clean it and wax it the best you can, and use that $300+ on some mods!

Spend that money on a high powered paintball gun. Next time that happens, light those bitches up.
