How much should this cost
alright, my car just got beat up.. how much should it cost to repair the paint job on this car?
The door has a large ding and a deep scratch/chip in the door.
The fender has a small ding, not paint missing, its only noticeable in a certain light. And the spoiler has a chip down to the steel in the paint.. Any ideas on how much this will cost.. ?
(All of this happened over the weekend)

Wow you expect us to look at a REALLY crappy pic, that you can hardly see the damage you speak of and tell you how much it will cost because your to lazy to get an estimate from a professional instead of some guys sitting behind computers?

Wow that wasnt nessesary 85z28guy. The guy was asking how much it goes for on average, and explained the problems as best he could. Not everyone has a digital camera that they can use.
I wish I could help, but any estimate I give you would be best guess.

I'll take pics as soon as I can, I am not near the car at the moment. I can not take it to the body shop because the car is illegal to drive at this point. A car wreck has my insurance at 9k a year.
The door damage is due to the handle of a car jack hitting the door, its about 1 1/2" long and an 1" wide . The fender is from someone leaning on it its about the size of a quater, and the chip in the paint on the spoiler is about 1/4" round.

I was driving my friends ***** @ 60mph @ 9:30 pm. I went up a hill and the road dropped suddenly and turned hard right. The car went airborne.. well here...
The damage to the car costed more than the car brand new. The brickwall was the supporting wall for someones house... Everyone for about a good two mile distance heard the wreck and came over to see it.
i just messed up really bad. I took my buddy for a ride in my car, showed him the corvair. He loved the corvair, I let him drive the iroc back, all he said is how much he loved American "muscle cars" the whole way home. He has a 2001 Hyundai Tiberon, really pretty car. Now remeber that suspension comment on how new cars have really good suspensions. YOU ALL LIE.
Okay he was beating on it, it seemed really fast.
He got out told me to drive. Driving it, it seemed really fast @ 60mph, i mean my Iroc at 120 felt slow compared to 60 in that. Well the clutch movement was like a whole inch for out of gear to engaged and it was a short throw shifter. The steering wheel had like a 3:1 ratio. I'm serious every little motion and this car turned. an 1/8 of a turn did a u turn.
Okay turn onto a road, go over a hill @ 60mph the road disapears i find it but @ the top of the hill the car goes almost airborn, i lose the back end and i put it in neutral counter steer, lose it, repeat 4-5times, i couldn't get traction, finally the car completely loses it, the suspension wouldn't let the car grip, when i tried to steer with it the car went into a spin, when it spins to where the i can see where i am going i see brickwall. I put it into gear turn the wheels as hard as i can front end hits the wall, and turns. The car proceeds to continue spinning thankfully. Smash the rear end of the car into the wall keeps spinning, get the other end , the drivers side hits a deck at the quater panel. Car stops, before it even stops I look at my buddy he's fine. The airbags didn't even go off. The car is totaled. I asked if he had collison he says yes. Cop comes, takes my license stuff and his vehicle info.
It turns out he doesn't have collision, my car is parked and so is my license.
Damages known....... front end totaled,: clip, all the stuff that holds it, one turning signal, windshield, cracked radiator, hood, and anything in that area. Rear: both quater panels, rear tail light, paint job.

If I had to guess on the estimate I would say close to a grand for the damage you described.
