I like to do it my self if it isn't so bad, it's a bit disappointing at first but after you keep at it for awhile you become quite pleased with yourself, why don't you try it? They way I see it if you use your brain a little then you can always try in a small area and if you make it worse it wont cost you much more then it would have to get it done in the first place, of course the upside is if you can manage to do it yourself you save a good wad of cash and gain a new skill

Edit: If you insist on getting a body place to do it there is a list on one of the stickies I think, a quick search should sort you out

Edit 2: If you want to do it yourself here something you might want to consider getting

Spot filler: Depends how deep your cars been keyed, I doubt you will need it but just in case

Primer: Only really necessary if the bare metal is showing, although some people like it as a base anyway even if it isn't

Sand Paper: Again if it's not very deep you prob wont need it, but the finer grit will help in getting the peeled edges just don't go to crazy with it you'll scratch areas that are fine

Paint: Check your color code get a can/spray made up (can should be fine in this case)

Clear Coat: Apply last to get that nice smooth feel

Painters Tape: Go crazy with this if you plan on using spray paint, you think it wont spray that far but when it does you'll be sorry you didn't tape newspaper over the clean bits

I might have left some things out, it's really late I'll check what I wrote in the morning....later

My friend got his scratches fixed at Chips N Scratches in Moorabin. Cost him $200 for the whole car, he was happy with the results.
