If done right, it can be minimally noticeable...if done wrong, it can attract more attention than just leaving the paint ding bare.

I have one ding in my driverside front fender, not near any edges, about the size of a nickle,

The second ding that I have is, more of a door mark which looks like a line about two inches in length, it is fairly close to the edge but not terrible by any means. I'll get some more specific measurements and maybe some photos to share.

I may want to get my TSX done also, as I have about 2 dings on one panel and possibly front bumper repair/painting if available. Thanks.

To the touch up paint person, if you need to ask that question then don't even mess with it and leave it to professionals. I have seem it over and over again when people try to get creative with touchup paint. Unless you know what you are doing leave it to the pros on that. 9/10 it will turn out worse than the initial scratch.

the thing with doing touch ups is this.. ever car color has a code and this code will give you the exact color on the car but keep in mind that color is meant to be sprayed out of a gun.. its not supposed to be put on a brush and dabbed on a car..

we offer touch up services but what we do is bumper repair.... when you crack the hell out of a bumper you have 2 options... get a new one or repair it to a like new condition... bumper repair is a lot lighter on the wallet and the results are pleasing to the eye

Some Ahole decided to scratch my rear trunk, just to the right of the H, i tried to put touchup paint in the scratch.. Now it shows more than before.. Should have jsut left it alone in the beginning..
