Default best way to go about with scratch repair?

some dumbass scratched my car as she was leaving while i was in line in the goddamn post office.

she left 4 scratches on the front bumper of my premium white pearl type s.

1 is through the clearcoat only

2 are about half the tip of a pinky in diameter and is through the paint

1 is half a pinky in length and half a pinky in width

what is the best way to go about fixing this? i called the dealership niello body shop just now and am going to get an estimate tomorow. how much do u think im gonna pay?

thanks with any help provided

there`s no point in repairing it now.

your only option is to buy a mugen front bumper, paint it, and slap it on.

pearlescent paints are difficult to blend on an already painted piece. they may want to repaint the entire bumper. you could save a bit of money and time by removing the cover yourself and dropping it off at the shop doing the work. at least you could continue to drive the car without getting a rental. talk to the shop about this, some are willing to do this. schedule a drop off and go from there. if it just needs sanding and respray, it could take a day or two.
