Is this the rear quarter?? That is metal.

I have a scuff on my front fender (from vandals/malicious driver in a parking lot) which is the flexible (non fiberglass) composite material, the body shops quoted me $1100 to $1700 for this repair back in 2002. I have not had it repaired (it will only happen again)... so the fender has to be entirely stripped?? there is no way to fill the scuff & just re-finish?... a bondo job on metal would not cost this much. The clear coat is starting to develop some hairline cracks near the scuffed area.
