Oh yeah, that'll buff right out. Might need to get some rubbing compound, buffer, carnuba wax, paint booth and a body shop but yeah, it will buff out in a jiffy.

You have a gift for understatement.

Ummm, yeah, your gonna have to sand and spray that whole quarter panel. And that will only work if the rest of the paint on the car isn't faded very badly, otherwise you'll never get it to match. You'll probably have to paint the whole car...that sucks man. Little scratch. Damn.
