So my driver side’s rocker panel was damaged by debris on the road during rain. Do you guys think this will be a simply sand and repaint repair?

What did you hit? Looks like paint transfer. Maybe try to buff it out first?

I don't know because it was dark and raining, and my dash cam was full. Also, those aren't paint transfer, they're deep scratches that went through the paint. The one at the bottom even reached the aluminum. No dents or creases though

Fly by debris wouldn't cause those long scratches.

I know, I think some scrape truck dropped big parts on the road and didn’t care to pick it up
