Matte Finish Issue

My friend got a pinky size knick on his matte finish and he is frantically looking for a solution. I told him I would assist his search, so I posted on here because I always seem to get good answers from this community. Is there some way to touch up this small portion without respraying a large area?

from what i've read, you always have to do the entire panel where it's located if you have matte paint. i hope there's a cheaper solution though.

That'd be the same for any paint, if you're talking about a proper solution.

I did a search on this and found one guy who polished a scratch out then buffed the haze back in. Not perfect but good enough for his lease car. Gl.

A good body man should be consulted.

Tell him to matte wrap his car (after he repairs the issue)
