Got these couple of paint scratches / chips in my Trunk, while lifting the trunk door somehow the programmed height was deleted and the trunk door hit my garage opener. I took it to the Benz dealer and they are asking 700$ + to repaint the entire trunk door, a local body shop also was not confident they could fix this on the cheap. Do you think I can use touch-point paint to make it any better?
Else I am going to put a small decal to cover it - please let me know what you all think.
I think touch-up paint will do an adequate job there. I certainly would not repaint the trunklid for that. At the same time, if it’s in a good location, this is the perfect reason to get a tune and place the tuner’s badge in this spot.
It seems like a relatively small damage on your trunk. If it was up to me, I would buy a touch up paint kit and work on it.
I had a similar paint gouge on the hood of my car from the dealership dropping a tool on it. The damage was down to the bare metal. I was able to get it 90% back to how it was and I barely see it anymore.
I recommend the Dr. Colorchip kit. For my metallic silver color, they color matched it extremely well...
I have used a local independent contractor that comes to my home or business and uses several techniques like an air brush to repair minor dents, scratches, etc. Some detailers also have the tools and experience to fix little dings like that. If you do a search for a similar business in your area you might find one. Good luck.
