I noticed yesterday that probably someone did a shopping cart bump on the lower part of my front passenger side door. How can I get this fixed? I have the touch up kit but this is a little bigger.. probably 1/3 the size of a US penny. Photos are attached. It does seem like the paint around it bubbled a little bit too:

OUCHH, looks like its been there for a while though.

the odd thing is I just noticed it, seems like it happened recently... any ideas on how much it will cost to fix and places to go?

If you want it perfect, it's gonna be a couple hundred dollars because they will paint the whole door, if they just paint that spot you will notice the difference

does Lexus do it? so just a few hundred bux?

Lexus usually charges 2x compare to the other mechanic shops, you said "Just" seem like you are loaded lol

most good body shops will charge a few hundred, but you have to live with the fact that they WILL paint your whole door and wet sand and blend the paint on the near body panels.

If you are really loaded then go for it, if you are broke like me I woulda just touch up paint that **** lol. Someone scratched my fender and I just touch up paint it instead of taking back to Lexus which will cost me 700 bucks

Hmm maybe ill just try to touch it up but if that fails ill have the dealer do it. It seems to me like the Lexus paint is a bit weak.

Josh, I see some rust. I think you need to re-paint it. Forget the dealership. Go to a good recommended body shop.
