I know this has probably been asked before, but the only flaws on my 95 white SE are several paint chips on the hoods and one large scratch on the bumper. Will paint shops even bother with minor inperfections on a car and at what cost?

The only way to fix it right is to repaint the hole

surface and blend it in.Price realy depends on were you go you could pay anything from $100-600 depending on the quality paint job you desire.

some guys have used crayon and melted it on w/ a heat gun. it's temporary but it works if you find the correct color match. just don't eat the crayon after you're done. LOL

i've tried to replair chips/scratches

usin touchup paint from the Nissan dealer but it sucks, it's all globby and too glossy to match. I think in most cases I woudl have been better just to leave it alone.
