Default Someone scratched my car!!

After about 1 1/2 weeks of horrible weather, i finally had a sunny day to wash my car. I came home early from work to get started and noticed that there was a scratch along the side of my car near the gas tank. It is about 15 inches long and is definately down to the metal past the paint. What makes this worse is that 2 days ago, I was driving and a blue recycling bin was on the road and when i swerved to miss it, it scraped the right side of the bumper at the very bottom. It is noticeable but not that much so i dont really care. But the scratch is really annoying me. How much do you guys figure it will cost to get fixed?

Why ask on an internet forum without even posting pics? Why not just go to an auto body shop for a free estimate?

In my experience in the DC area, if they have to even open a can of paint you're already over $500
