Scratched Rear Door
So during a momentary lapse of attention, I took a sharper than usual turn while getting out of my parking bay and scratched my rear door against my wife's parked BMW (luckily, only the bumper was scratched and I had that fixed from the dealership).
It looked quite nasty at first but then I used some wax, some conserver and made it a lot better. But once I was done, I discovered a deeper scratch (and possibly a dented line) along the door. Since it's a relatively new car, I can't stand this scratch/dent and I want to have it fixed. One way is to go to the dealer and have the whole door repainted/dented unless I can come up with a better solution. Any thoughts?

The pursuit of F
Repainting the whole door might be overkill. Since it's a small section and at the bottom where it's not as visible, a good paint shop will be able to blend paint it into the rest of the door.

I've been thinking it would be pretty cool to put a slightly darker paint below that hard crease in the doors, and blend it into the rest of the door. Sort of like a fade into that black plastic below the doors. Looks like you have a pretty good excuse to try it. At least on one side
