Help! Primer exposed!

I was driving into my garage too fast and I hit the top of the garage door as it was moving up. Jesus, I feel like such an idiot! Is there any way I can fix this myself? The scratches look pretty deep and the primer is showing.

Sorry to see the damage but the only way to fix that type of damage is a repaint. The damage is too deep to buff out.

Oh man! Would they have to repaint the whole roof? Around how much would it cost me?

Ouch - sorry to see the damage! You might be able to turn this around though - seal the spot and do a full roof decal. Or some vipers A UJ would look great on your CR!
