Touch up or body shop?

Hi,
I've just found there were a few tiny thin scratches about 5 in long on the right nose of my brand new cayman yesterday. It was very painful. The scratches were not easily spotted, but I wanted to get rid of them! I'm thinking of a touch up paint, but I've heard you need really good skills to fix even the tiniest scratch with it. But I do know guys in the body shop or dealership sure going to fix it to the original form and it would cost a lot for just those little things. Which one is the best options?

Thank all!

As for the scratches, your best option right now....

post a picture of them so we can give you better options

If they aren't they deep (as you say - tough to spot) they might be able to just be rubbed out (by hand or buffed w/ a DA or orbital).

Yes. Pictures needed. Scratch-X is where I would start. If it's brand new - have the dealer fix the issue.
