Cost to fix deep scratch?

Just got my 07 g35x a month ago, and got a freakin deep scratch today unloading a server for work...=*(

Does anyone have experience with how much it usually costs to fix this? Dealer/Detailer?

I am going to go throw up now. =***(

well i recently had a deeper scratch on my rear bumper,

went to a few different body shops

got the same answer. . . .

if you want it to look like new. . .you're painting the whole bumper. . .

around 400 bucks. . .

one shop offered to paint half of it. . and do a blend fo 200

but who knows how well the blend would have came out

or. . .you're buying a tube of touch up paint. . .20 bucks

and well we've all seen touch up paint results. . .

im getting the touch up and if i cant live with it. . .spraying the whole darn thing. . . ugh i know it sucks

i got quoted 250 for a repaint on the bumper and 200 on my door from a scuff i got..ended up just having them buff it out the best they can and touch up the areas they can't for 25 bucks. can't tell unless you know it's there and you look for it..i can live with it for now until i really want to repaint the whole thing. good luck with yours

Get some touchup paint from your dealer, Langka, and DIY.
