    Is that modular? If it's my truck that piece is getting repainted. I've used plenty of touch up and a lot of it doesn't look great but that's a larger repair area than I'd want to work with.

    that part is fairly small - might be worthwhile checking to see if bumpershellz or others may be a cheaper easier route than trying to touch it up yourself

    You can purchase that piece seperately and color matched...thats the route I would take.

    That sucks for sure man!
    Honestly I would order a new one and have it color matched by the seller, unfortunately these front panels are a breeze to take off.

    So at a minimum is around 30-40 just for the oem brush paint. You cant make that completely go away.
    You put on some strong glasses and lightly fill and blend you can certainly make it look ok from a few feet away.
    (if really annoyed a little wet sanding etc and some patience)

    Otherwise as other have said... replace the part. A new painted side will cost $205 plus.

    It would eat at me every Gawd damn day knowing it was there,like a tractor beam pulling my eyes to it!
    Personally there is no flipping way I'd leave it like that,it's a brandy new truck!
    Maybe if it was a work truck and 8 years old I'd let it slide, but brand new no way man!

    Touch it up for cheap give it a couple weeks and you'll forget about it.

    I’m with others, touch up paint on that would be very noticeable I’d rather repaint or replace. It would drive me nuts if just touched up
