I parked my car outside just for a couple of hours, then I found a decent chip in my paint. It's a '23 Q5 Sportback, district green metallic. It's a brand new car and I'm pretty bummed out! The chip is down to the metal, maybe a bit bigger than a pencil eraser. What are my best options for getting this fixed properly without breaking the bank? Should I go to the dealer or a specific type of body shop? Any suggestions for DIY touch-up kits that actually work well? Thanks in advance for any help!
 
For a good repair that won't break the bank, try a body shop instead of the dealer. Doing it yourself? Grab an Audi touch-up kit. Just prep the spot, prime if you see metal, then paint and clear coat, letting each coat dry.
 
Are professional paintless dent repair shops a good option near you, or would trying a DIY touch-up kit first be better to match the district green metallic color?
