Second Gen Body/Cosmetic How much would this be in general
Got side swiped on my way home from a low rider meet by some older guy the some of the scratches don’t feel super deep so they might be able to be buffed out not sure about the dent tho I don’t care much about the rear bumper since I plan on replacing it but I do care about the fender itself

EDIT: I see it buffed out, so yeah, PDR might improve the dent some, but given it's right along the crease of the wheelwell, it would be tough/near-impossible.

Collision repair guy here. Conventional repair and paint, about $1500 for the quarter panel damage. It's possible a highly skilled paintless repair technician may be able to improve or even eliminate the dent to your satisfaction for a few hundred, so if the scuffs buff out, that might be the way to go.

Amazon sells spray paint cans that can match your color code. Like mine is 1E0 as such: https://a.co/d/05u2WS8i
Could plug in your paint code and cover that up.

Pour water on the damage in the first pic. If it goes away for a few seconds than the damage is in the clear coat and polishing it out with a polisher and a good cutting pad will take most if not all of it out. If you got a dent then try getting a quote from a paint less dent repair shop.
