DIY touch up paint gone wrong :/
Sorry I didn't take any pictures so you could laugh at my poor craftsmanship 
I bought the Nissan touch up stick (brush/pen), it was only 20$ shipped.
It covered minor scratchs very very well, they look great now, can't see em, can't tell it was touched up.
However, on my hood, there were three rock-shots that chipped the paint entirely (about BB sized), and it had a little depth to it. I made that look even worse, now it looks like there is permanent bird **** streaking down about 3 inches on the hood, since they were all in the same area
I can leave it as is, but I'd rather get it buffed out - anyone had a similar area buffed out / know what the cost would be around? Anyone have a local place to Everett they suggest I go to? Should I bring the touch up kit with me so they don't have to make their own paint to match? There is more then enough left over..
thanks in advance.

I stopped by a auto care clinic that my woman went to once, they are good people. they suggested I call this mobile painter named Jay.
if anyone is interested in the results, I will take some before and after shots and tell ya what it cost. waiting until friday+ to call him since that's pay day.

I decided it didn't look too terrible so I am putting this one on hold - ordered my spoiler and plenum spacer so I didn't feel like shelling out the money for a blemish fix right now.
hopefully I remember to post pics when I finally get this taken care of, but it will prob be around christmas time.
