Default Minor scratch and dent repair recommendation?

A few weeks back a 10x10 EZUP tent was caught by the wind and dragged along my car. There's a very small dent which should be easily remedied with paintless dent repair but also some deep scratches and I'm hoping they can be fixed with an expensive respray.

Your thoughts?

Rear Quarter:

The rear quarter looks like it is through the paint to the metal.. won't be able to buff that one lol.

a paint pen might work good for those scratches. I've used paintscratch.com previously with good sucess, atlhough Honda also sells paint pens.

This is not a Honda though, it's on my Scion FRS. Maybe Toyota has a paint pen but concern is the depth of the scratch. I already visited a detail shop where they tried to "buff it out" and these are the results I'm left with. The rear quarter is through the paint completely but I didn't know if touch up paint could satisfactorily remedy this or work/respray is the only tolerable route.

you can always try the paint pen first, and if it doesn't work, then respray. won't hurt anything..

P.S. I want to test drive the FRS.

Touch up paint won't be able to blend in well enough with the type of pearl and metallic in that paint it'll be pretty obvious. You'll have to have it sprayed.

I've used Tim Ketron from same day. http://www.sameday-usa.com/

He did a good job repairing a deep scratch on the tailgate (non S2000) for me. I would recommend Tim.
