What to do...
So I woke up this morning to seeing my car all scratched up on the right rear door and fender. Ended up that my younger brother backed his car right into mine. He tried to cover it up with some wax, but I know my car too well. The other car, a Mustang was also scratched up too but I didnt care about that. Now I'm at work so I wasn't able to take pictures yet but I will have some up. It looks like like its pretty deep. Any suggestions on what to do? Repaint, buff, etc.?

What's your budget? How well do you want the scratches to be concealed?
It can range from doing touchup paint yourself to find a body shop to repaint/blend the area.

You have to have the body molding taken off and new body molding put on after being repainted...if it's bumber (front or rear) it will cost $700-1000 (here in Northern Virginia) (...I should know, I've had both replaced in two separate yet similar circumstances
). Good luck!

Definitely want it to look good so I dont want to do it with the touch up paint. But I just don't want the paint to look like a different shade...

Talk to your friends/relatives to find a good body shop.
