300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
You paying or insurance?

the best paint in the bay will run you way more than you would ever figure.
MB quality ask the dealer what a good shop they sub their paint out to
then give those shops a call and look at the quality of the work.
Is the damage through the clear?If not it may be able to be wet sanded and buffed out.

I recommend an MB approved Collision Center, check your local MB Dealers to see which has a body shop. You are looking at big bucks but then I am sure your insurance company will pay the bill.

Mercedes
I know a guy who can fix most key marks, you can keep the insurance check and get it fixed for a couple hundred bucks.

I suppose it all depends on how deep the scratch is, if it is scratched to the bare metal, any filler paint will show badly, otherwise a skillful paint & body shop can do a reasonable job with light scratches.
