However, the overall experience was stressful.

It is one of those situations where I couldn't honestly give them a 5- or even 4-star review, but it's complicated. Quality of work? 9/10 at least. Quality of customer service? Maybe a 3/10.

Anyway, I did happen to notice a small scratch on the driver's side front door as well, which I have mostly masked with a little clearcoat (from a previously-purchased touch-up paint kit) and some polishing. It's still visible, but very faint. Not sure if that came from the body shop or a random person passing by my car in a parking lot, but I do find it interesting...

I guess I will have to get comfortable with some level of nicks or wear and tear. I've said it before - I didn't buy this car to make it a museum piece. I intend to use it!
If you still have the car in 10, 15, 20 years you can take it to a shop to fix all your little scratches and dings in one fell swoop. There's no point in chasing every little scratch right now. You'll go insane.
