I’ve read that Dr ColorChip is pretty good for the price and for DIY so I am considering that. However my first concern is what grit sandpaper should I use to smooth it down? Cause that chunk at the top is very much down to the metal.
Or if anyone’s got an educated guess about how much it might cost to get it fixed at a shop I’m all ears eyes.

That should cost between 350-450, mostly due to the paint costs. I had one that was a bit smaller and the guy redid everything perfectly for 300, but that was a good price offer on his part since I’m local

I guess that’s reasonable. Paint isn’t so cheap 💀

there's a MyAuto Center in Montebello I've had a few exceptionally good experience with. Don't let the small store front fool you, It's full service. I had a couple older cars they worked on. Cars came back fully detailed.

Yea parking lot only holds about 6 cars. Crazy Armenian owner, gave me a tour of the whole facility. I’m super critical of any type of body work. Lifetime guarantee on paint and workmanship.
