Horrible question!

Hey guys-

I am pretty new to the forum. Anyway, I have an 06 cayman S and some evil person decided to through an acidic substance on it. Now, the acid has left tiny little black holes in my paint. I am wondering if anyone knows any other way to repaint the small area, instead of going through an entire painting process. I have heard that there are some people who do small paint projects with tiny airbrush bottles, but no one in my area seems to know of it. Anyway, Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks !

That sounds like you need to have the panel or affected area repainted. I could be wrong but........... that wouldn't fly with me.

Are the holes larger than something a "Chip Dr." type of guy could repair? They are typically mobile units will drive to wherever the car is. If you have more than small "specks"/chips, then this isn't the answer.
