How much would this cost...am i being too picky?

I recently got my Camaro painted late 90's Mustang yellow. I've had it out of the paint shop less than a month. Well, yesterday I was parked at Dunkin Donuts, and my friend showed up in his IROC (which has a paint job no more than a month older than mine). He pulled in, and parked right next to me. Well, he got out to go inside, and opened his door right into mine. There's a ding in my door a little smaller than a dime, and some accompanying electric blue paint. Would this be expensive to touch up? I feel like I'm being overly picky, but the paint job was fairly expensive, and the guy fixed every little imperfection and shopping cart ding on the whole car, and the paint is smooth as glass. I can't stand having one unsightly ding.

Go back to your body man and see if he can tap out the dent and buff off the blue. If he can't or won't try to take out the dent, look around for one of those "paintless" repair people who specialize in removing small dents without harming the paint.

Whereabouts in Boston are you? I live in Milton and would love to to see the car. Maybe we could get a cruise nite going somewhere?
