Get a pro shop to re-paint the panel. Damage around 3K

Baka may nadaanan kang low hanging tree branch ? Sorry to hear about the scratch.... :-(

[ess]

Have the scratch evaluated by a detailer muna. Baka pwede pang maremedyohan.

Also, kung matyaga ka and have plenty of time, here's a link for an article about DIY paint scratch/chip repair.

how long is the scratch?

here's what i suggest...

1) It's on the roof, so you're in luck coz di halata kung tinouchup. Especially since it's black.
2) It's black
3) sand the scratch a little (use the sharp edge of your sandpaper fold) to remove the rust, the apply some Turko or better yet, 3M Rust Remover pen to stop the rust and primer it at the same time. Actually, if you use 3M, you might not need to paint over it anymore, it's black anyway.
4) If you choose so, touch it up ever so slightly.

i can recommend someone home service pa if you like. specialty nila yung mga small dents, scratches/ dings na hindi ma-claim sa insurance.
