Default rocker panel

I scratched my right side rocker panel and it needs some exoxy or bondo not sure what is called and a coat of paint, how much should that cost me? Should the whole panel be painted?

Thanks

Depends on the body shop, I had a small area fixed and painted at a body shop that I have use frequently and it cost $80.00.

Where is the scratch located - in a prominent place or under the edge where it is not readily seen? If you can see it just looking at the car, you may need to blend the paint a bit to get it to match. Not sure of the cost though.

I've got the same problem. I knew I should have bought Andy's kit. Oh well, I guess I'll get it fixed and then buy Andy's kit.

Since it's not a very noticable area, maybe a session with touch up paint will suffice for now, and if it doesn't, it's not like you weren't planning on having someone fix it anyway.
