Paint and dent touch up

My beater BMW has two dents and some scratches that needed to be touched up with airbrush and have the dents smooth out. The work is within the normal dent removal parameters.

Anyone know of any good guys that can do both?

Much appreciated.

ProDetail is an unknown quantity at this point
I am assuming that you are talking about your Black 325 this is good since black is the easiest color to touch up. I would have the dents pushed out first, then go to a body shop and get some activated black single stage touch up paint and touh it up(you only have about 4 hours after the hardener is mixed with the paint). When you are touching up the scratch make sure the touch up area is properly degreased to remove any wax also make sure you touch up higher than the oem paint(don't make a mountain but slightly raised). Let it dry for 1 or 2 days and then block the section down with a block and 2000 grit sand paper. Follow up by buffing the sand paper scratches off. Hope this helps
