Question body/paint damage questions

Well, stupid me. Just grazed the rear pass quarter panel on my car backing out of the garage. F'n tight squeeze in there, just wasn't paying attention. See pics. I'm pretty clueless on paint/body stuff. What do you guys think a reasonable repair bill is to fix this? I was thinking of respraying the whole car, since there's a bunch of other places that need to be touched up... I got quotes to redo the whole car from $1700-2700. I really can't spend more than $1k right now since I just dumped a $h!tload of $$$ on other stuff recently. I'm not looking for show quality, just some durability from rock chips, etc. My car is NOT a garage queen, it's more like a street/track warrior, and I'm not looking to spend a fortune on paint since I know it's going to get messed up again anyway. What do you think?

High res images are found at my GALLERY, click on the thumbnail to get small pic, click on small pic to get full size.

That sucks.... Why dont you hold off for a couple of months and save for a proper paint job? I think that will be worth it in the end.
