So while I was trying to back up into a parking spot the other day, I did not notice a small pole and accidently brushed it against my rear bumper and the driver side quarter panel

The bumper is scuffed up but doesn't damage from any dents that needs to be replaced. Unfortunately the quarter panel does have a quarter size dent right where the curve is from the side to the rear near the tail light with a little bit of paint scuff as well.

My question is what would you guys expect as a quote to have the bumper re-sprayed and the rear quarter panel dent popped out (if possible but not sure) or have it entirely replaced and re-sprayed as well? It looks as if the entire quarter panel extends to the front of the car by the windshield and hood and front fender.

I hate that my beautiful RX is looking like this

Thanks all.

Your best bet is to talk with your Lexus dealership and ask who they use for paint and body work. Then take the car to the shop and get the estimate. It's impossible to get an accurate or even a ball park estimate through a forum such as this.

I had my rear quarter panel scratch (not a big one) removed, painted and my front bumper as well as front panel re-painted because of dents from the high way driving. The total cost is around $800 in Twin-cities area. You can't tell the difference of the new paint with other panels. If you want to save the money go to Craigslist and search 'print' at auto service section. I am sure there will be some in your area. Your other choice are going to independent body shop which will quote you higher but you buy the safety of the job. On my job, just quarter panel job, I was quoted around $1000.

The paint on your RX is a three step process. As Rainbird suggests, you are best taking it to a qualified shop to get an appropriate quote. Prices will vary widely depending on area and as your profile says nothing about where you are located it is very hard to be of much help.

Yea I plan to take it to my guy who does auto body as well. He already mentioned a re-spray on my bumper alone is $300. I guess I will bring it to him and see what he says about the quarter panel. Do you guys know if a PDR will work on the curve of the quarter panel from the rear to the trunk side? I am thinking the answer is no since PDR works well on flat surfaces but I could be wrong here.

I am located in New York, NY. Updating my profile now.
