Tough one to call. I really depends on where you take it. It might be easier to guess a price if you posted a pic of it.

 

Post a pic... I'll let you know.

 

Well, I dunno how much a lawyer is but did you sign a prenup first?

 

here is a pic attached. shes too great to get rid of, but I was close this morning!

Well first of all, a claybar will do nothing for a scratch. If rubbing will not get it out (i am assuming you mean just with a cloth or something) you should get Meguiars Scratch X and put it on and really buff hard with a foam applicator. It might help, and it is way cheaper and worth a shot.

 

Looks bad. Did you try some scratch remover??? Might be a wasted attempt but you never know!!!

 

I figure $5-10 for a sledge hammer to break up the pot and 10-20 years for murder. j/k, on the murder thing anyway.

 

I agree, try a scratch & swirl remover and alot of elbow grease .. that doesnt look like its through the paint.

 

In that spot it's going to really depend upon where you take it. If they only charge you to refinish your fender, you could get out of it for as little as $175. If they charge you to remove/install your front bumper, headlight, etc. and blend your right door it could run as high as $400.
Hope that helps.
