You'll find that most panel shops will charge about $200 to $250 per panel to repaint. Usually a little more if you have 2 tone paint.

That looks suspiciously like spilt battery acid (?). The location is even right next to the battery.

Being metallic paint it would be very hard to touch it up yourself without it being very noticeable. Try getting a few quotes from reputable repair shops- don't get it done on the cheap!

B4 you do anything ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA REMOVE THEM..... Dints/Scratches/leaks & rattles all add character to your vehicle.......and usually can hold a little story (weather true or not).

I've been told that ferozas are painted with a pearl and therefore you cannot do one panel at a time, instead you have to do every panel from that aspect... ie half the car :?

Told this by the bloke who does my rustproofing, good guy and I'd trust him with this kind of thing. I'm not a panel beater so can't really argue the fact :roll:
