Default Any estimates?

Here is the damage, custom color, not factory. Lines indicate area's that are dented or creased. Gas flap is ok, no creases in it. Thanks for looking at it.

Do you have a paint code? I would write it for 6 hours body repair and put it around 1000 for the repair. But if you don't have the paint code the place might charge more for time to color map it.

no paint code, bought the car like that. I did have a color match done, so I have that number but I'm not sure if it matches well at all.

Usually after its color matched it is pretty close so when the panel is blent out assuming it is done correctly is will match very well.

We'd do it for about 600-700 as long as the color is a 2 stage.
