Default Fixing Scratches for over $1000

to get rid of rock chips on bumper, and hood,
estimated price is about 8xx dollars.
they want to repaint the whole thing.
and i have a scratch on my side skirt due to people scratching it while getting on and off the car.
that is additional 2xx dollars
i tried scratch x but its a deep scratch so i will have to change side skirt
the rock chips on bumper and hood aren't too bad
maybe I can buy matched paint and paint a lilttle? has anyone done that?
any way that i can fix these small scratches?
has anyone done it and how much did it cost you?

by the way, I am willing to buy passenger side's side skirt if anyone is willing to sell it to me... but only BSP please.

thanks guys

$8XX seems a bit high for just the front bumper. Did you get a couple qoutes, if not try a couple different shops and compare.

if you are ever around the washington d.c. area, i probably know a guy who would be willingly to do it for relatively cheap compared to what you're getting done.

i had my whole left side get a hit&run, it was scrapped relatively badly with scratches, and red paint all over it with a huge dent. Estimated from a bodyshop was 3600. I got it done for $400 by him. (But my friend who owns a scion car dealership, referred me to him) It was suppose to be a two week job, he did it for me in like 6 hours.

If you can email me the picture of your car at lbmdt@hotmail.com and what needs to be repaired

I'll email it to him and see what price he can quote on it.

I have to get all new panels and all new paint for my car. It's going to cost me $500, but may cost the insurance company around $8-$10k. Hail damage is real cool. I'm getting all the emblems shaved, and I might just go a totally new paint too. Especially if it's gonna be cheaper than Toyo paint. Who knows...But, good luck man. Hope you get it done and done right.
