got a minor dent.. touch-up?

so i have a small but relatively deep dent on the front fender... deep enough that it reveals the silver metal crap underneath the paint. I've left it there for a while (big mistake) and now a little bit of it's beginning to rust.
So my question is how can I touch up the paint so the color's match? the color's pearl white. Will anything at pepboys or kragen work or should I go to the dealer?

Get it fixed properly. Your car is only 6 years old. Touch-up paint will not do anything for the dent.

a dented max is . take it to a few local body shops and get some quotes on fixing the dent. a good place can make the fender look like new. it probably won't cost as much as you think. good luck.

PDR shops won't touch anything where the paint is broken, cracked or scraped.
