Default Minor scrape to fender, very expensive!!!!!

My fiance` was pulling in the garage last night and barely scraped the right rear fender just behind the door. I tried to buff it out but can't due to some paint taken off. Quotes are anywhere from $700-$900

Garnett red pearl, all places said the toner is at least $500. Any ideas, options or should we just buck up.

Did the same thing with my Calla White Q7. Left a big dark blue paint streak on the rear wheel fender of the car. I called several auto body shops and was told to use mineral spirits to remove as much latex paint as possible. Then I used a small amount of softscrub to remove the remaining blue tint. It worked very well. It took patience and about an hour to remove it all. Use clean 100% cotton towels. I dont know how the softscrub will work on the pearl effect paint but it worked very well on the Calla White.
