Looks like someone opened their door and rubbed off on my front drivers fender.
Lexus detailed the car and while it wasn't able to come out.
They suggested a bodyshop and thought it may need to be buffed out and built back up.

I also do have a quarter size paint scruff in my front bumper from going through one of the worse active road construction zones Ive ever driven through. Cracked my windshield during that trip too but that has since been replaced by Lexus.

That being said, has anyone needed to a bodyshop to do any paint touch up's on their LC500 yet? Of course, Im expecting to have to pay a premium

 

It doesn't sound like you need a bodyshop. Find a good detailer in your area to take care of it. Body shop guys ARE NOT detailers. They'll take a rotory to it and call it a day and you'll be left with holograms and maybe worse.

Just as a tip, if you can feel the scratches with your fingernail, it won't be able to be polished out. It's gone through the paint. Otherwise, a polish should remove any marks on the paint.

 

A picture would help. But LcConn is right. Find a detailer.

 

Faint line in fender

defect in paint on front bumper

 

Pics uploaded.

I think I need both a good detailer for the faint line on fender but would require a bodyshop to blend paint for that part on my lower front bumper.

 

i'd almost guarantee they will want to repaint the entire bumper.

 

The faint line looks easily removable. The other appears to have gone through the paint. Again, if it catches your fingernail, it can't be polished out.

If it were me (though I do all my own detailing) I would see if the detailer can touch up that spot. I would definitely avoid a repaint if anyone says that's what you need.
You can go down a rabbit hole very quickly and end up worse off if the job is poor. Paint not matching, dust nibs, fish eyes, etc can all happen more frequently when painted in a shop. It's just not worth it. Touch it up and live with it. White is forgiving. A person who knows what they're doing can add the paint, sand to smooth and you'd barely see it.

 

Completely on the same page. That is my plan. Its a car. Meant to be driven. 15,400 miles on it, most were from the first year. Blemishes happen.

 

A re-paint is the automatic go-to; however, a product like Doctor Color Chip can fill the chip and blend seamlessly if done right and several applications. That's the route I would take. Not just because I'm cheap but because repainting a panel is the last thing I would want to do if it can be avoided as that factory paint is the best you can get.

 

Start with Dr. Colorchip.
