repainting is really difficult, its more likely you'll screw it up more than fix it. try clay barring, it can take things out of PWP very nicely

try clay bar if that doesnt work live with it, what if they repaint it and then you might not be happy with the color. 3 stage paint can be tricky somtimes.

first off what do you mean by "dot?" Black dot, blue dot, dot of missing paint? How big is said "dot?"

If they repaint it and it doesn't match up perfect you will most likely be able to notice it from a distance. Can you notice the "dot" from a distance?

I say leave it and get the dealer to hook you up with something else like a trunk tray or something.
