its not too deep but its deep enough to notice it. How much do u think it will cost to get it to look like how it was before and also what what a shop have to do?

Befor you go to a body shop check with a detailer or a Paintless Dent Repair shop .. they might be able to do it .

Some pix would be nice to asses the damage. I feel for you cuz I went thru same thing. I had a 1 inch scratch on my driverside door & covered it w/ touch-up paint. Now you can't tell it's there unless you get up really close.

Is the paint completely off from the scratches to where you can see the primer underneath?

Why not have a few body shops take a look at it and give you a free estimate? The same holds true for the paintless touchup shops.

Hell, you might even try taking it to a master detailer where they will be able to apply some compound and buff the scratch out.

Numerous options to choose from.
