Paint/Body Shop experts... question
I bought a Nissan Titan Crew Cab (Deep Water color) the other day. About an hour after I left the dealership I notice a scatch that started about a 1/2 inch on the driver's door and continued about 2.5 inches into the rear door. The scratch goes to the primer around the last 1.5 inches. The dealership said they would take care of it.
I do not know much about paint repair. What would you guys consider to be the "right" way to repair the scratch? I want to make sure they don't do a quick and dirty repair leaving me with something that looks good now but will look like crap in a couple of years.
Thanks,
Tim

Yo F-face...
I'm over at Nikki's mom's house. Are there many trees down in Metrowest? I'll probably end up staying here tonite and going back over there tomorrow morning. The truck is in her garage... 2 inches to spare with the door down.
What did Ferrel say about getting your paint job taken care of?
Call me tonite.
