Autobody damages are ridiculously expensive. It's just what it is.
I've learnt from the past that usually it's not even worth fixing if its just cosmetic damages, unless you have a really nice car or you're a huge enthusiast that washes and wax the car every weekend.

I have some scratches/deep gouges from a 50/50 accident (with a black car) across the side of my car. Over the years, it kind of buffed itself out. It helped that my car is silver though, and surprisingly, those black "paint trade" wore off.

I had a buddy that worked in the industry quote me for half my car's value. LOL. I was like and just got some touch up paint and tried my best to at least paint the scratches away, even though the gouges are still there.

Cover it up with a rear bumper heat shield. Makes the car look fast
