Default Spot paint treatment - So Cal area

Hey guys,

I have a TINY nick on my rear bumper. its about the size of 1/4 of a penny. I want to get it repainted. The thing is I dont want to get it the whole bumper repainted, just a spot paint job. Know of any good mobile services that does this?? Or should I wait until I really jack up the car and do it?

Thanks!

Same thing with my car.
I got some touch up paint and clear from the dealor.
Basically, sand the area off, add about 4 thin coats of paint, sand, then 2 coats of clear (depending how much chipped off) so that the area is filled up just a little more than the oem paint. Then, take 2,000 grit sand paper and buff it until the surface is level. Get some scratch X and buff until shiney

I 2nd his suggestion. Langka is pretty good, it has been used on many of my friends 350's/G35's. Using it may be a little tricker than just using a brush and dabbing it like touch-up. It is a little more expensive, but to me worth the extra dollars.

Can't help with the touch-up. This is why I had Aerotect do the rear bumper.
