Deep rock chip repair

[Captain Gj]

Long story short, had a tech at the car dealer take my car for a 20 mile test drive for a simple alignment. Ended up getting a rock chip in the front bumper. I cannot upload a picture, but the chip is probably 1/4" long and is down to the black primer.

Dealer offered to have their guy who comes out to repair minor damage to used cars/cars on the lot blend paint onto the bumper to cover spot. Would you all recommend this? Worried that the job will be sub par seeing as this is not an on site painter. Doubt there is a spray booth and that it will be done out in the open.

Any suggestions as to how best tackle the situation? Car is a 370z w/ brilliant silver metallic paint. Thanks for any help.

take the car to the shop of your choice get an estimate and give it to the dealer. Tell them they can make the check out to you or the shop.

Simplest fix would be to touch it up with a dab of paint. If you overfill it, you can wet sand it down and polish the top (once dry).

I agree, unless the dealer is willing to get the whole bumper repainted. Blending paint will never look the same IMO.
BTW, might want to invest in a clear bra, not sure about 370's but 350z's are famous for getting rock chips in the front bumper. Mine looks like someone took a pepper shaker to it from close up
