Scratch Fix Recommendation?

Looking to fix two panels that have been keyed, door and rear quarter. Pretty sure it dug enough to remove paint.

Anyone have something like this fixed before and could recommend a place?
Has to be somewhere in NYC, NNJ.

Do shops usually repaint the whole panel or can they blend?
Want to look around at shops and get quotes, just asking you guys so I have a place to start.

Could you post pics of it so that we could see how bad it is. You could wet sand and touch up the scratches if its not too bad, but black is the most obvious color when you do touch up.

You could get it blended, but because its a door they'll have to blend a lot of the car to get it to look right, so keep that in mind, good luck!

In the last couple images I can't tell if thats all the way down to the fiberglass/steel or just leftovers off the key that are showing (key can actually discolor too). Doesn't hurt to try buffing it 1st, it will help atleast. If you can catch it with your nail you will never get rid of it though without paint.
