Tint, pits, and bra's - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So just got the BRZ tinted. Looks great:

Of course on the way home, this happened:

Funny thing was that I was getting a quote from my tinter on a clear bra, and this location would NOT have been covered by it! Figures right?

Anyway, whats the best way to fix something like this? It's hard to say how bad it is, it looks like it chipped the paint but not the primer off. Should I just grab some touchup paint and try to do it that way?

Anyone ever heard of Avery clear bra's? Same company that makes printer labels, it's got a nano something or other embedded in the poly whatever so it doesn't have a separate top clear coat. It costs more than some of the others, I was quoted as follows:

24" Hood - 280
18" Hood - 200
Headlights - 45
A pillar/roof - 120 (only a few inches on the front of the roof)
Full Upper - 775 (entire hood and fenders)
Bumper - 400

It's 30% but the light meter shows it at 25%. Same stuff I've had on my truck and car for four+ years at this point. Very happy with it. I'll get a better pic and post it to that other thread.
