It's minor compared to some of the things that have been fixed here on CL, but it'll still be a brick.

wow.. your damage is similar to mine, just that my damage is more serious and built up by years of parking in the streets, all four corners of my car is dented and scratched which are caused by stupid people who don't know how to park. Where are you located in CA??

You pay for what you get. $300 sounds like a thick bondo and graphitti spray paint job.

Do you remember SnL's Adobe Car?

Sup guys.

Nguyen lives down the street from me and trust me, that blind corner gets a lot of people. He was offered 300 from a street guy driving a beat up car. You know those people that drive house to house and spots something they can fix and they tell you about it.

300 SEEMS a little cheap, but you get what you pay for. But with paint too, wtf! That's crazy.

I dunno about a $300 quote either, get a few estimates from the local bodyshops and see what they quote you. Then compare.
