Look mum no stars!!

Even if you have a scratch.......maybe something deep or long...they need to strip the paint off the WHOLE area maybe such as the door and repaint the whole thing...thats why it costs so much...

Touch up paint? if its a minor scatch?
Painting a whole car can cost 4000 - 10 000 dollars. Though its not worth that much....thats retail price btw...

Hey sorry to hear about the car...
I had the same issue last year some f**k wit did the same thing happened to you to my car... I just left it as it is though... All I can think of is that try any car detailing place you can find and see if they can 'blend' in the scratch... since your car is relative new they might be able to do it at near perfection... Otherwise there is DYI... get some putty and fill in the scratch then get a spray can & musk the other area off and spray some layers to it & clear coat the top bits and bluff it out... its a very long and shite job but will cost next to nothing if you have the skills & patience The last method would be claim from your insurance... or pray someone hit ur car on the damaged side and get the whole panel replaced... For me... I already got a spray can color matched by Autobarn and clear coat and just waiting for a good time to do it... starting with the bumper on the rear... Again I will curse that f***k wit who did that to your car... Cheers |

If the scratch did not reach the primer layer... which is the white paint underneth the black metallic coating you can get a touch up pen and touch it up and buff it out yourself slowly...
