Your looking probably 250+ for them to redo your whole door.

The bottom part would probably buff out with some aggressive compound, but the top looks pretty bad.

Repaint, only option. Too deep to buff out.

Thats what i thought. The top scratch looks like the only that wouldn't buff out.

It's down through the paint... make sure that the body shop does a good job and doesn't only paint it but does two coats of clear on top.. otherwise it's gonna fade in a year. Oh.... don't do insurance. Good luck man!

Try some 1500 micro fine wet sand paper and then Buff with compound.. no matter what it has to be sanded out so using the 1500 and the buffer is your best option if it doesnt buff then it will need repaint
