Default Paint Correction vs. Repair & Referral, San Fran

I have a '96 993 C4S in Arena Red.

I have a small scratch on the roof and some chips in the pass. rear quarter panel. I would like to repair these and avoid spraying large areas as much as possible. Perhaps airbrush, wet sand, I don't know

This is the small scratch that barely catches my nail

These are chips on Quarter Panel

Close up of Quarter Panel

Another close up
Any advice would be appreciated.
Also, and most importantly, I could use some referrals for someone to do the work. I live in SF but could do anywhere from Marin south to Palo Alto

I would just start with some DR ColorChip do it yourself touch up paint and see if you like that. $50 or so and that might be all you need.

Those look fairly deep and beyond the realm of a polish and/or wet sand help. All that does is bring down the clear coat (and possibly paint) surrounding the chipped area to the lower level of the chip, so I would not advise doing that.

Default Thanks PHX.

It is probably more than I want to do myself and your thought that it may be too deep for touch up is my fear.
