Default Car door scratch repair cost estimation

So I slided off my parking lot wall and scraped my driver side door, the door moulding strip also came off/torn and right now I am using tape to stick it.

I was wondering, how much, in estimate, it would cost to repair the door? There was no dent at all, it was just the scratch.

Also what should be the best course of action as well? I wouldn't mind to have a few scratches on the door if a cheap repair option can be found that will remove most of the scratches but not all of them

Finally, the model in question is 2007 lexus rx 400h and I am based in Vancouver, BC, Canada if that helps.

I assume since it was a parking lot wall that those scratches are showing the metal of the door, and that the white spots are not paint from the wall transferred to your doors? Pretty gnarly scratches.

Take it to a detailer and see what they can do.

Someone keyed the C-pillar by the hatch on my wife's 2012 Focus and we got a quote from Abra auto body and it was about $1400 in part to the pricey paint (red candy metallic) and the blending that would have to be done. Just doing the door might be a little cheaper but it still will need to be blended and that adds a few more man-hours.
