I have no idea what a body shop would say but I would imagine that to make it look perfect they would respray that entire panel. I would also assume that someone experienced could touch it up for a reasonable price and make it looks decent. I can tell you for a fact that painting is a hugely variable thing which is why I suggest clear bra on your front bumper to protect and avoid having to respray in the future.

You can go to a cheap place and probably get that panel sprayed for a couple hundred or even cheaper. Then again, you could probably go to a high end shop that does paint work above or at OEM quality and pay hundreds more or even thousands for the same work but of much higher quality.

As said previously, it sounds like you want it to look good or at least decent which no offense but sounds like it leaves you fixing it as not an option (I wouldn't try it either if it was my car). Probably best getting some quotes from body shops. Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for when it comes to that stuff.
