Depends on what part of the vehicle the scratch is located.





Sometimes an auto shop can do a touch up job for anywhere between $20-$75 and then buff it out so it looks as if it were never there.





If its a fender and a touch up cannot be touch they might have to repaint the whole part which could go upwards to $400 for a quality job.





If its located on the car where a body part does not detach, such as the railing between the doors, they will have to repaint the whole center frame of the car, and then blend the paint so it matches perfectly with the older paint on the car. That would be rather expensive. I'm guessing at least $1000.00-$2,0000 depending on the color and quality of work.Auto paint?
It depends a great deal where the scratch is and how deep the scratch is. Some light scratches can be removed with just a good polishing or compounding. Deep scratches will usually have to be sanded, prime painted, filled, sanded again, and finish paint coating as the final step. The more time and material used the greater the cost. If you don't mind the obvious appearance of touch up paint, it can be repaired and covered up for less than $100.
Try this:





1: Color sanding it





or





2: Get some nail polish remover, and spread it lightly on the scratch. This will soften the surrounding paint and with a touch of the correct color of paint from the local parts store, fill it in and color sand it. They sell touch up paint in little cans or better yet, bottles with a very small brush applicator.,





Price? less then a few bucks.
^^^Tommy very good answer, one of the best I've seen on here about car paint and the process. I paint cars and do body work so I know what goes into it as well and just wanted to let you know that. Props, you'll get my vote.
There are many answers to this question, two of the biggest variables however are the location of the damage and how good do you want it to look.





Lets assume your scratch is in the middle of your driver door. If the metal is not dented underneath but the scratch went all the way through the clear coat, they would have to sand down the area to bare metal, feather back the existing paint about 6 to 9 inches out from the scratch. This means that you would have to paint at least 50% of the base coat and then do a full clear coat on the outer door panel.





Here's where you have to decide how good you want it. When your car came from the factory the part was painted with no obstruction and was coated edge to edge. On a door you would have to remove any body side molding, the door handle, the side mirror, the belt molding and the inner trim panel, to do a professional refinish. This is more expensive but is as close to factory as you would get.





If you want to go ';EL Cheapo';, you just have the shop mask off at the belt molding, and mask off the door handle, side mirror, and body side molding. This will leave tape lines and probably some overspray onto the masked items and eventually your paint will fail at the taped areas some time in the future.





If the scratch is at the front or rear edge of the door and your car has a hard to match color, it may even require them to blend into an undamaged adjacement panel to acheive the proper color matching. This means more labor to ';de-trim'; the adjacent panel and a more costly repair.





Anyhow, hope this sheds some light on the process. Like I said there are many answers to your question and without more detail, only a bodyshop can provide you with the right answer after looking at your vehicle.
