The bumper is easy just remove it and take it in to get repainted. Hell I would take the whole thing in. Something like this is only a 2-300 dollar repair, 800-1000 is insane. Spend the money now so you can sell for more later.

Or remove the bumper as it would be easier to paint alone, and than see if you can hammer out most of the dents, or pick up a whole new side fender and get them both sanded and sprayed at a body shop. Doing some of the work yourself may save you some money.
