I'm not sure what to do now….where should I goto to fix it? any local repair shop to get it painted / respray?
Appro how much $$$ it would need?
Thanks,
1st learn how to drive
2nd buy some cut and polish, some light scratches just buff away.
3rd If you do drive like a crazy, I wouldn't bother just yet as you'll get more scratches
Did you look at the pictures. Cut and polish won't get that out.
Don't waste your time and money on that OP.
get a respray on the door, should cost about $200. will notice a slight difference in colour though.
Don't bother with the panel beater…. keep your money for the next car.
You could ask these guys for a quote.

I have used the franchise located in Fremantle to fix a dent in the bumper and was very happy with the result.
This looks like paint transfer from the doorway. In that case, you can get the white off with gentle application of white spirit (Coles/Bunnings).
Then depending if there's scratches or not — I suspect light shallow ones — a light polish might do.
If the white I'm seeing is actually your primer, it's a bigger job. The mobile example businesses can do a decent quick job. It's usually cheaper than leaving it at a workshop.
One of the local smash repair said :
It will cost $1500 to repair & paint o/s/r bar end , o/s/r qtr panel and o/s/r door, repairs will take 5 days to carry out.

Which city/state?
Probably call around for a panel-beater, and see if they have the paint colour and whether its able to be touched up. Otherwise they have to take off all the paint and respray it. I had my old Mitsubishi station wagon have its whole bonnet resprayed and it cost me $200, and that was three years ago with mates rates. So, depending on whether you have it resprayed, or touched up, and where you go are all things that effect the price. Perhaps ask friends whether they know a good panel beater.
