MichaelSpoots- The additional info clarifies things a bit for me. And I'm glad you didn't find my reply so
as to be offensive.
When you have touchups that're *that* high, different approaches are called for. Pretty much simple as that, and/but in the future, remember that bit where I asked if you meant *seconds* instead of *minutes* ...I wasn't kidding
If you find a good shop (yeah...big "if" there...) the redo shouldn't be too obvious. Most of my vehicles (and *all* of my silver ones, a very hard color to match) have repainted panels and most aren't obvious to anybody but me. Actually, in real life I bet *none* of them are actually *obvious*. And some are impossible for *me* to see.
Noting again that many experts say not to do spot-ins, I have a repair that size on my silver MPV (right near the fuel filler door) that's holding up perfectly after three years or so, and *nobody* can see it, not under any lighting; it's...dare I say it...perfect. So it can be done.
