£1050 for a respray? Snap his hand off! I paid over 3 times that although mine was a bare metal respray.

A really good machine polish would make the whole thing look a lot better.

 

That may be acceptable until you can afford a respray

If you mean the ones with two handles and the approx 10" disc youve no chance (like the Kent one below). You'll need a proper machine polisher thst looks like an angle grinder and someome who knows what theyre doing so you dont end up with scorch marks and holograms

Also some fine wet and dry like 2000grit, a bucket of warm water with a smidge of washing up liquid in it to prevent friction

 

And finally a light hand and alot of patience.

 

I bet you will be able to flat alot of those out as many look like scuffs on top of the paint. Obviously you wont get the deep scratches out but you could always touch them in and once they are thoroughly hardened off, gently flat back the touch up and run the mop over it.

 

Will tide you over until you get enough paint money.
