Default Opinion needed

i had a little encounter with a friggin pillar last night and i am hoping that i can get some opinion to how much it will cost me to get it repainted/restored. i took a picture of it, but since it's 5.1 mp picture, it weighs in at about 1.2 mb. if someone can host for me, that'll be great. thanks for your time.

Or start an account at www.photobucket.com , it will resize it some automatically, but I agree with twinctc, You can adjust and resize yourself for better control and then upload to photobucket.

Or! In the time that it would take to upload the picture and have us respond you could go to a body shop and get a real estimate.

haha, thanks for the response guys. i do know how to resize it, but the reason i chose not to is so that the person viewing the picture can zoom in all the way and actually see it clearly. as for actually going in for an estimate, i am waiting for a friend's dad to get back to me. i am not that competant when it comes to cars and what not, so i don't want to (possibly) get ripped.

keep them coming guys.

That does not look to bad. I cant help you on how much it would cost. If you know some one who does auto body it would be much cheaper that way. The body shop would sand down that area, primer & paint it so its hard saying how much it would cost.
