Nose paint question

Houston has lots of steep driveways. Consequently, the underside of my nose is scratched to hell and is now missing some paint. Can I have this re-painted, or would I have to paint the whole car?

Thanks,

-Mike

If the shop is good enough, they can just mask off the area and you won't even be able to tell. If not, they might just mask off the front clip. Either way it's not a huge deal, but you won't have to have the entire car painted.

Would it be easier if I just remove the front clip and take it to them?

they could paint the front but they may need to blend the colors together so it looks right

Hell no, because they won't have to take it off.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was thinking about this again while I was detailing today. Will a 3M bra cause the same kind of discoloration and scratching as some other bras? I'd like to protect the car from getting scratched up again after I get it painted.

Thanks,
