Ouch...... That's well deep.
Defo a paint job that ..... You could use a colour coded touch up pen as a quick fix to protect the bodywork from damp and salt.
Until you get the paint work done.
Some mobile paint people might take that on, as a spot repair versus painting the whole panel.

Depends on the impact. And what mode your camera was in regards sensitivity or motion mode. It looks like maybe a chip-a-way type of company could deal with it. Sorry you have suffered someone’s carelessness.
Got any links to any ... As an example?
Here's a local chap I've used. He did an invisible repair to a wheel on the Volvo that the local tyre chimps damaged.

It doesnt look like vandalism, too straight and regular. Something travelling past has nickede against that with some force, but without some evidence thats just speculation.
That's a pricy quote, but im no expert and being metallic an in an odd position they may want to go out to the nearest contours. You can't paint the whole door as it wont match, and blowing over the whole side of the van and blending it properly will be very spendy indeed.

No idea. Is that what it looks like? Maybe end of handlebar you think? Not sure I can be even bothered to check dash cam. No recourse
That sounds about right. It’s a skilled job and a good few hours to do properly. And a lot cheaper than having the whole door blown in at a body shop. I’m sure someone will pipe up with the well my mate etc etc but the old cheap fast good rule always applies to this sort of work. Cheap and fast won’t be good, fast and good won’t be cheap, good and cheap won’t be fast. None of this is of much comfort to you I’m sure.Second quote 300….
I’d agree. That’s a deep scratch and anyone worth their salt isn’t getting out of bed for less than £100.
I’ve done a pretty decent job myself in the past with touch up pens on stone chips. As long as you flatten them out and polish them properly they can disappear. But the last time I did it it took me the best part of 5 hours for 2 stone chips…
You can’t have owt nice these days.
