Default ScRaTCh On My CaR!!!!!!!!!!!

I for some reason wanted to get really close to the curb..and i kept on getting closer..and my front fender scraped against the curb. When i checked it out, it had two medium deep scrapes on it..at the very lowest part of the fender...it scraped until you can see black scrapes in it. My car is the polar white xB. So what can i do to get this fixed, just get it to dissapear..its like Car Acne....WTF!!! do i tell my dealership about it, i have the best warranty on it..and i got insurance... or do i just go buy some special stuff like paint..or some magic stuff ? please help... :?

know ur pain my friend, happened to me once. But it was too deep for the magical thingy, it usually only works when it's ONLY the paint off or something. In ur case, i think it's more than that. I went to the body shop and spent $250, u can try to go to shops like Maaco or just go to the Dealer place. but i have to warn u, they charge A LOT MORE, (like $450 when i asked them)

$450 damn that suxxx... Hmm does it matter if it was your fault or not ? when you went to a body shop, what did they do exactly to your car ? does it look like it nothing ever happened there ? ....
