Paint repair questions

Something on the road hit my door while driving - right smack in the middle and left a small chip Down to the metal.

Does anyone know of the door can be sprayed without blending? I have a full clear bra on the whole fender.

It looks like a door ding. I'm probably the only person who gets a door ding while driving.

Thanks

I had a door painted at Martino Auto Body in Glen Cove and the work was tops. I have not used, but did hear good things about Finish line Auto Body in Valley Stream.

take a couple of pics...maybe you can PDR'it and then retouch it, wet sand it, and buff it really good. I have done this a couple of times on my M3...saved me from having to repaint the door...95% unnoticeable.

Detailing Dynamics - have Matt take a look.

Likely easy touch up if not too large.
