Rally, bad deal on the body damage. I have seen people air brush paint into a scratch. It is time consuming and the correct equipment is required, but a heck of a lot cheaper than a paint job. The scratch can not be to deep. Some of your friends might have the equipment if they are into hobbies. You would need to find touch-up paint and thin it inorder for it to work.

If you can find the paint in a can then you would mask off the scratched area and mist paint into the damaged area. You need to take your time and build the area back slowly.

On the door dent, try someone who does paintless dent repair. They use metal wands from the inside of the damaged panel to work out the metal. I had this done with great results on door dings I had. The dent can not be large, baseball size. Hope this helps
