Full Body paint
How much would it cost to fully repaint the whole car (TC rs2)? The reason is I got a small ding and a dent due to somebody banged his/her door on my passenger side 
thats why I was thinking about repainting the whole car. And would carbon fiber hood look good on blue?

Uhhhhhh repaint your whole car because of a ding and a dent?
Well to answer your question, it'll cost around $4k-$5k to get your car painted the right way and with excellent quality. The right way being they strip your car down, paint the engine bay, door jams, and each body panel.
Paintless dent repair fixes most dings and dents and should only cost you around $100.
If your ding/dent can't be repaired by PDR, you can go to a body shop and get it knocked out/bondo'd and repainted for ~$500.
Why would you want to repaint an RS2 tC anyways?
Also, IMO Carbon Fiber would look good on blue. I personally think it looks great on white, black, blue, yellow, and red cars as long as they've got the supporting mods to make it look right on the car, and that it's tastefully done.

btw... if you are to repair it.. i suggest keeping the rs2.0 blue.. it will allow you to keep the value of the vehicle up... since, after all, it is a RS.
you would only need to repaint the damaged area anyway.
please don't repaint a RS a different color..

Whatever you do, make sure you take it to a reputable bodyshot and let the workers know your expectations. Don't end up like my buddy. This thread is worth reading, even if you hate Corvettes:
