Sigh ... my 2007 Toyota is almost 3 weeks old and needs some paint repair. Parked it at mall parking doing Xmas shopping and came out to find 2 deep (down to black metal?) scratches on it and some rust left behind with a wide superficial scratch.

Looks like someone with high bumper swiped me. Where in the GTA can I find someone to help me repair this at reasonable cost? I don't have time to leave it at a bodyshop unless they're open on Saturdays.

Thanks.

If you want this done right a mobile painter isn't the solution. Leave it at a body shop and don't rush them.

You cannot paint outside or even your garage during the winter. The climate needs to be controlled.
Go to a body shop ( a high volume shop is best), ask them if they have any cars your color being painted soon and ask if you can have your small job added on when they are mixing paint and doing the bigger job. A good deal of the cost is prep and that includes mixing the paint. It takes as much time and effort to get a pint ready as a gallon and a big area as well as a small area.
