a good shop will charge 600-750 a hole in the wall 225-275 the dealer I would go to would charge 550.00 and they would prep it for me thats the quote I got. So being that I am not sure how I will like it I spent 15.00 on some plastic dip and will do it myself for a test if I dont like it peel it off.

Well Someone hit my rear quarter panel and extended to my rear bumper (the side of it). It looks like the quarter panel part can be buffed out but it kinda gouged the bumper. So it's looking like that will need to be painted regardless. So with the bumper already off and being covered under his insurance how much extra would u expect I should pay? I'm thinking all that would need to be done would be masked off then painted black... Then hit with the clear...

Best to just ask the shop that is going to do the work what they would charge. I would say you should be able to get by with less than $150 for the extra work.
