i want to cry!
i gave my baby a boo boo! the place that i have to park at for work is poor in design. to get to leave the garage you have to go thru a stall at an angle and swipe a badge. well long story short .... i did some damage casue of the high curb and the swipy thing being set to far back! 
CURSES! here are some pics... what do any of you think its going to run me to fix this. i have touch up paint but this is deep stuff. i just want to die!!!
also as side note... posting my new pinstripping in gallery.

Better go to the Dealer, for correct color match. Parking lots are a problem with the HHR, it`s so straight up and down, with bulging fenders, and the window is sorta high when trying to negotiate turns, curbs , posts, etc.. I found it`s best to try and go around the lot and have a straight approach out.

Yikes...that's a bummer. Sorry to hear about that...those high curbs sure are hard to avoid.
I had a small dent in my hood a while back and it cost me about $600 to fix that. Repair fingernail size dent that broke paint, prime, paint & clearcoat entire hood. I'm venturing to guess yours will be right around there.
I did take mine to Chevrolet dealership even though their estimate was about $50 higher, just to make sure it was perfect. Get estimates and let us know what happens.
BTW...that pinstriping looks great. I love those little Chevrolet emblems.

to get something like that is about $600-$700*. My mom had a scratch and dent like that. If there is a dent then that is about the price.
*This is an estimation form a chevy dealership. A local garage might be cheaper.I am basing this off of what my mom had to pay for a scrath similar to yours on her expedition.
