I would suggest he take it to a body shop and have them fix it before he needs all new body panels.

Why..??

The OP says it's not bothering him anymore ......

OR, are you trying to say that his SO will not be able to do a good job painting her toenails .......

I was thinking the well being of the car. I'm sure Mrs. Spuds keeps an eye on him.

Well, hopefully he has put his tools away and his SO has locked up his tool chest ......

If she painted her fingernails that would be a good idea. She's not stereotypically "girly".

As it is, I have to deal with my very non-steady hands. Good thing the chips we're all on the edges. My crappy paint repair is less noticable that way.

If I took it to a body shop every time the paint needed repairs I'd be broke lol. As it is, all panels on my car could use a strip and respray from rock chips, parking lot damage, etc. Some day I might get the car repainted or something, but the more imperfections in the paint, the less I worry about paint damage. The less I worry, the happier I am driving.

Plus, practice makes perfect. One day I may be able to do good touch-ups.
