Need help w/ repaint

[workinrollaman]

I need to get my car repainted and i have no idea what that would cost. Really i have to options, one getting the minor damage repaired when i skimmed a guard rail, mainly scratches, with one minor dent.(The scratches go pretty much down the whole driver side of the car). My second option is the whole car. If anyone has any idea of what the cost of this would be, will make it easier to make a decision of what i should do, and if i am getting ripped off.
Thanks

of course the repair to what only needs to be repaired will be cheaper. it's more labor involved to repaint the whole car. you can ask ppl on the forum about how much it will cost....but it ultimatly comes down to where you live and what the shops around there charges. my sugguestion is to call around your local shops and ask....but they will probably tell you to bring it in for a better estimate. just take it to a couple of shops and see who gives the best deal. also...if they have cars already done sitting around....take a look at their work...and see if its any good.
