Really sorry to hear this. Absolutely gutted for you. This nearly happened to me a few weeks ago but thankfully somebody decent saw the incident.

My advice is to get it done properly as it will always be on your mind whenever you look at the car in future. Make sure you get plenty of quotes though; there must be guys out there who really want the work.

This is one of the reasons I now park nowhere near anyone and always take up two spaces.

Gutted for you. It happen to me in a previous car. I'd only had the car back from been re-sprayed a couple of weeks aswell.

I good body shop will sort that out no problem. I have had work done which 'looked' far worse than that and they have repaired it to 99.9%. The last 0.1% is because I still new it had been damaged after it had been fixed.

Go INSIDE the sprayshop and see how clean the floors and assembly areas are.
Nothing worse than inclusions in the paint, all the rest is bread/butter stuff.
