M3 Keyed on 2 panels: Orange County, Please Help!

It can be saved by a detailer that knows what they are doing. And it would be a lot cheaper than repainting the entire car trust me. I don't know where your at but I can't see why fixing that would cost more than just a couple hundred dollars regardless of what location your from.
 
I'll have a PTG soon, and with filling and wetsanding it should be able to minimize it any pictures of the panel?
 
If you can feel it with your finger nails, then it's too deep. Sanding and polishing

can help. But i suggest getting some touch up paint from the dealer and

fill in the scratches, sand it level, then polish. It is time consuming. Here's

one i did a while ago (about 12 hours or so):

It takes many applications with the touch up paint to get the build. The paint

type is lacquer with very little solids (more solvent) so it may take 4 applications

or more, over several days just to get the film build higher than the surrounding

OE paint. But once that's done, then you can begin sand it level. Wait a week

or longer after the build is achieved.



Good thing it's a solid color. And when done "right" it wont be very noticeable.

And this approach if far cheaper than repairing and refinishing properly;

which should be around $400+ per panel.
