Estoril Blue Paint Repair

Well folks, covering the driver's side window with a piece of cardboard inside a garbage bag while waiting to get the window fixed, resulted in lifting a 1.5" x 2.5" piece of paint off of the window stanchion.

Either I'm incompetent or tapatalk is failing me (I suspect a little bit of both, mostly the latter) but I'm not finding a thread on DIYing it.

I did come across PaintScratch.com but I have zero experience with automotive paint.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Poor repaint/repair by bodyshop....
Just leave it alone and have a bodyshop do a proper repair...

It's less than a 3" square but this is not a DIY job to get quality results

Rats.

That's what I had hoped not to hear.

Thank you.
