our IP's unfortunately are a pain to color match due to the pearl in our paint, so no, i doubt that you are going to be able to touch up the G to make it look brand new.

hell for example, my rear bumper has a few minor scrapes due to a person running into it and 3 different body shops quoted me ~$700 to fix it. perplexed at the price, i asked why it was so expensive and all 3 of them responded that it was due to the blending, fading, color matching of the pearl paint.

if you live in an area where there is a decent amount of rain/ snow, then i would highly recommend you get it repaired (whether you decided to go to a body shop or touch it up) due to rust which can spread if not addressed.

about 4 months ago for example, my rear left side quarter panel was hit (yet again) and the car that hit me scraped off the paint down to the metal. i left it as it was and noticed after about 2-3 weeks, small rust spots developing .

anyway GL w/ the repairs

Slightly off topic, but I have a dent on my passenger side door, now the only way to fix it is to get the whole door re-painted, but do you think that there will be a colour difference and people would be able to tell that that specific door was re-painted?

^yes, you'll need to blend in with the other door and fender, possibly the whole side to do it right.
the door alone will be very noticeable

I have a rather barely-noticeable-to-others (but unsightly to me) scrape the left side of my bumper, which needs professional re-painting + several minor scuffs. I just know the day after it's painted something else will happen, so live with it for now. No touch up kit I've tried worked out very well.
