Default scratch repair cost?

i just got a sctrach. loos like a key mark on the drivers door. 4-5 inches from the front fender/hood on the upper part of the door. question is how much would it cost to fix the scratch? also how much room do you need to blend a color. this gy at carsmetics said i needed to paint the whole hood because its all one piece and it was too close to the door gap. what should it cost? thanks, ps polo green 94.

I would re-do the entire hood. They should sand out the scratch on the hood and paint the hood where it blends with the body. @85 bucks an hour (here) it gonna cost under a grand.

I just had a quote here in N. MN. for $1065.00 This was the local GM dealer. Hopefully the person who did the damage insurance will pay for it. I did turn in the claim anyway. haven't seen a check yet though, been 3 weeks so far.
