Im looking to get a few paint imprefections repaired all at once.

One is a deep scratch mostlikely from a key. This is on the C pillar area, about 3" long.

Another is a deep gash on the rear bumper. This is only an inch long but its about 5mm wide.

Question is, how much should I expect? Its flat black so its not a hard color to mix.

Also im wondering if they spot paint it, or will they need to repaint an entire panel and entire bumper for that small area?

most body shops will over estimate the problem, for ex., my hood. They wanted a whole hood resprayed, but I was able to get almost ALL the scratches out, even the deep ones. I've ordered some mathced paint from paintscratch.com to fix some cracks on my rear bumper, which a shop said needed an entire repaint.

Find someone willing to try to do just the area first, and if the work is inadequate, will do the whole area/part.

After doing my own work, I get the feeling most shops just rip you off - this goes for mechanical and body repairs!
