If it's a fairly new one I'd advise not spraying it yourself unless you have previous experience in doing it as it's real easy to make an absolute balls of it and ruin the car. If your determined to do it you should checkout some videos with guides on youtube before you go near it for tips.

I'm no expert but I'd imagine that panel will have to be replaced...

Plenty of lads will repair that damage and worse no bother. The OP could tackle it but as a novice is likely to make a mess of it. Best to let a pro fix it, and it doesn't need a fancy high-end body shop either.

well for the two spots of damage how much do you think it will cost to repair?

slimjimmc

Sorry, I've no idea. Best thing to do is bring it around to a few places and get estimates. A friendly chat with a few side street garages could get some recommendations.

ok cheers for all the help anyway

I would say that you could tackle the job yourself with some paint, primer, sandpaper and filler. My advice would be to watch Wheeler Dealers (toyota MR2 episode), Edd the Mechanic is fairly handy at the repairs and explains how to do them well. From my fairly limited experience of filling rust holes, the key is to take your time with it.
Don't expect to get it perfect but you should be able to improve it no end.
(assuming that you are brave and quite handy) Also as the car isn't worth that much its not worth paying a pro.

You can get the supplies you need from any motor factors. I would go to Halfords if there is one close to you as they can mix the exact colour for you then and there. (your local motor factors might be able to but Halfords defiantly can).

oh so halfords do the filler , paint , and primer . but if i get a normal gloss black color in a can it should do the job.

Ded_Zebra

any old black paint will be OK but it won't be much more to get the real colour (maybe €2 more for a can).

Atlantic Dawn

Do not use any old black paint, there's possibly 10 different shades that could be called black, then you have metalic paint, go to the main dealer and get paint or have it mixed at Halfords if you want the job to look any way half decent. If you want to do a butcher job and save a total of probably €20 get any old black paint.

Owen

There's a lot more than 10, and even using the colour code to mix the paint, there can be several shades all with the same colour code. Can't really see it being an issue though, the gung-ho repair that's going to happen before it will look worse than any paint IMHO - and I'm trying not to be an asshole about it, but you can see repairs people do themselves a mile away, and they always look worse than any damage.
