So while my car was parked some jerk in a big pickup truck that was parked next to me wasn't careful with their door and hit the side my car, chipping off some paint about the size of dime a few inches above my passenger door handle The paint is chipped off down to the primer but as far as I can tell, there isn't much of a dent if at all and there's no bare metal exposed.

My S2000 is laguna blue pearl, and I have some touch up paint I ordered from Honda awhile back. If I try to use the touch up paint, what's the best way to make the finish look clean?

If I don't go the touch up paint route, is my only other option to go to a body shop and get the entire door repainted? If so, anyone have any estimates about how much that would cost?
