Professional to apply my touchup paint

I have a bit of keying on my new car =[ luckily not TOO bad, only a couple inches long, not that deep etc. I have touchup paint, but I want this done right -- can I go somewhere and have a pro deal with this? Is there anywhere in the bay?

Compound and wax try to fill it in as much as you can. Keying sucks stay away from those crazy girls.

Expect to pay big money for professional touch up. Might as well get it resprayed.

Big money=$300+ probably depending the length of keying.

Thats not big money, to me at least, but if I can get away with a touchup job rather than respraying the damn thing, that would be best. I'll pm you ballz.

Not as much as you'd think -- I'm hopefully getting the exige-s for 45k out the door. ~7,000 miles on it, and it has touring and track packages, star shield and a rear limited slip! Good deal imo. Then I am going to flash it to 265hp.... D: 265hp in a 2077lb car...fun fun
