First, I think a sharpie would look hideous and ti will notice it right away.
Try Dr Colorchip. I did it to my son's car and it looked 100 times better than before. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

You are paying the Porsche tax, with a quality ppgpaint that should be 500 to 1k. Water based paint is all garbage but after they bake apply PPF immediatly.

60 hours labor to do both quarters seems a bite much so does 1,200+300 for materials...just sayin'

ditto the black color comments above too. owned a black 280z in the early 80's and swore it would be my last black car. that lasted about 35 years...then i caved and purchased my 991.1S in black.....and regret it big time. love black/hate black. never again (hopefully =) )
mine has PPF on the entire car. do have some light PPF damage in that area but zero paint chips. much easier/cheaper to remedy then paint. if you own a black 911, PPF-ing the entire car is a wise move that'll save you alot of grief (time and money too).

Question for you, now that it’s ppf’d do you find the maintenance the same as another color car?

Black is a beautiful nightmare. miss the days when i could wax my car and enjoy it looking great for more then a day or two (and my car is always kept in the garage when not in use). it's a futile battle that i fight and always lose
