I am looking into buying this car and there are two paint flaws on it.
The seller told me that there was an egg thrown at the car, and it was not cleaned off right away. They don't know about the other flaw.

One flaw is on the back drivers side fender.
The other is on the trunk.

My question is... Do you think that someone could do a reasonable touchup on it so that it isn't that noticeable? If so, how much do you think is reasonable?

I am kinda stretching my budget to buy an Mroadster right now, so I am hoping to get a good deal on a car. I figure if I could get a decent touchup job for now... then I could get it repainted in a year or so.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Dave

The trunk can easily be repainted, it shouldn't be that much and the rear fender you can try to get it light sanded than buffed out.

I was just concerned that you wouldn't be able match the paint close enough for the trunk. But I guess it wouldn't be that noticeable.
Thanks Much.
