Okay, are you going to keep it? No? Then I'd get several paint work quotes (nothing more than $500) from around town.

Check Yelp.com for starters or call a local indy mech that you trust. Lots of "Bumper Doc" type places around. These shops specialize in just bumpers and smaller jobs, not like Maaco type complete body paint jobs.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $500, especially if you're going to return the car in the near future.

And you would care about this why? The value of the vehicle is meaningless when turning in a lease.
