Northwest Members - Where to go and How Much to Expect?

Hey guys and gals. I recently got my suspension installed and my fenders were rolled to clear the tires. Long story short, both sides of the inner fender lip cracked paint hardcore and need to be repainted before it flakes off (on the outside quarter panel itself) or rust occurs.
Is there a way touch up paint can be placed under the lip, as it does not have to look 100 percent (as it is not seen outside the car unless you're under the car or looking up at the car from the ground).? I know it will have to be sanded and re painted. I don't trust myself with this stuff and have no time to do this while working full time and also being a full time college student.
Where can I go for this type of work? How much to expect labor wise so I don't go in blind? Anyone in the Seattle area do this work?
Thanks!

Mine did the same thing. It is almost impossible to roll fenders without the paint peeling a bit. The other option is scraping the tires all the time!!! I like the first one better. As for the paint shops. I think Zeke has a place that does good work. Maybe he will chime in on this one.

Thanks for the reply man, especially since I posted this on a Friday night when I won't be getting many answers quick.
I'm just basically asking if 1) anyone here could help 2) any shops want to chime in to help me or 3) Ellis can you do this (since I'll have my car there sometime soonish for other work?
Etc.
Thanks for any recommendations.

Try using a heat gun when you are rolling the edge. It's really hard to keep the whole thing hot enough without burning the paint.

Just use a touch-up kit (with the little brush). You can't see it anyway.

yes we have a guy who can take care of it ;)
The problem came from previous damage and thick over lapping paint BTW
