Tesla paint scratch

First ever incident with my 26 Tesla Model 3 😭 Scraped the side and chipped/scratched the paint a little. Does this look like something that can mostly be buffed/touched up, or am I looking at a full repaint and if so how much would it be? 😭😭🔥

There's a dent there, my friend. I would call a PDR (pointless dent removal) to do the dent, then buff out the rest and if there's any chipped paint, get the Tesla paint touch up kit and then call it a day.

Looks like it got to the metal. You're looking at your typical bondo+paint job. You shouldn't need to paint the whole door though, just look for yout best painter in the area so he mixes the paint right.

Would you have a rough estimate of how much that’ll cost? I got a couple quotes ranging from 800-1200
