Gosh am I ever upset right now! |
This is what I did for mine. You'll need to get some paint from a body shop and then use an air brush to touch it up. I started with very light coats and did a bunch of coats. I topped it with an OTC clear and then blended everything. BTW, I sanded the area around the small spot before repainting. Check out some of the auto paint forums for better instruction.
It won't cost you much to try it yourself, so what do you have to loose but a little time. If this doesn't work, you need to find someone that specializes in spot repair and painting. When I had some deep gauges from my neighbor backing into my car, I just didn't feel comfortable doing it myself (plus my neighbor was paying). I called my guy at the dealer and he referred me to the shop they use. Instead of the $450 quote I got from the other body shop, he charged me $200 and the job looked great. My damage was 3 or 4 deep gauges about a 1/4 inch deep, 1/4 inch wide and 2 or 3 inches long in an area the size of your palm..
Good Luck!
