Dent/Chip Question

[Caballus]

Posted this in GT350; probably should have posted here instead:
Picked up a small dent, which also chipped the paint down to the metal. Need to get it repaired before PPF. Shop is telling me they will have to paint the whole panel, which sounds weird to me. Less concerned about the price than paint matching, etc. Anyone have a similar experience? Sorry for the less than perfect photo.

A PDR guy can work that out fairly easily, so I'd start there.

After that it comes down to how perfect you want the repair to be. Repainting the area will make it near perfect, but it will cost you. I'd recommend buying a Dr.Colorchip kit. I use this all the time on my cars, and it's fantastic. The more time you invest into correcting it with the kit; the better it will look. From 2 to 3 feet away you'll never notice it.

The final option if you have the time and desire is to refinish it yourself. This would involve some factory match paint, wet sanding, and buffing.
