Hey PA28 owners - I need your opinion on how to best handle this repair. I've acquired my PA-28-161 since March last year. The bird's right-hand cowling was damaged by its door handle back in Vegas possibly on a gusty windy day. It looks like a dimple but not in a cute way. The more I look at it, the more I want to get it fixed...

What are the options/solutions here? Do I need a brand new cowling installed and deal with the PITA paint job work? Or is there an economical way to get cosmetic surgery on her?

A rookie owner here, so I much appreciate your opinions and ideas!
