What the hell where were you parked!? Look like it was more than a scratch did you file a police report? See if the insurance will cover it, that's paint is etched in. Your going to need to have a respray on that, that looks past the clear coat and primer already. I doubt wet sanding will save it.

Dude Im sorry bro I know exactly how feel... Few months ago while I was washing my car I noticed some scratches on the rear passenger fender and was very upset. Then I looked closer and noticed some jelly douchebag keyed bitch into the paint all the way to the metal! Then I was furious! 😠 needless to say I called the insurance company and they covered the repairs, ull still have to pay deductible tho... And the shop was able to buff it out and you can't even tell no more even for how deep it was. Idk if they would be able to do the same on black tho

Well regardless of what they need to do, 500 is cheaper than what the shop would charge you. Just make sure you take it to the best quality shop near you that you can!

Get better pics. White scratches are usually clear coat and can be repaired.

Looks kinda like someone can use a machine polisher to buff out.

try to polish it first, see how much damage is really there. than take it to bodyshop to get estimate than you will get the best and most accurate price. Other wise the bodyshop will assuming the worst and gave you a higher bill.
