Ouch, this is OT, but very nicely focused image with lots of detail, thank you!
They don't by chance have a white car do they??
That looks pretty bad and considering you have a metallic paint, you won't want to touch it up because you will always see the repair. The metallic flakes won't blend in properly. The best scenario is a repaint on that rear quarter panel. Probably cost less then $500 to respray it, just a guess.
I was asking if they had a white car, because if those white scratches are paint transfer, then your chances of a more acceptable solution are greater and claying would the the first step to try. You might contact a professional detailer to see if they can do scratch repair. If it looks better after claying, then wetsanding and polishing may improve it, but no guarantees.

They've kind of dodged around the "do you have insurance" question, and are willing to pay what they can to get this replaced, but I'm willing to guess they aren't ready to fork up to get the whole panel repainted. It looks like its down to primer/metal in a few spots...think the rest can be buffed out? What, and how, should I do?
I've seen a lot of bad touch up paint jobs on other cars,with big glops, and I don't really want that...are there detailers that do touch up paint too? Should I just get vinyl decals on both sides? lol
Help!!!
