Post scraped body kit need suggestions

hi. I have a White (color code: NH578; not the pearl one) 2000 TL.

Today, i scraped the front of my kit. It's not too noticeable, but u can see that the bottom-front of the kit is scraped (it's showing black). What should I do?

Should I bring it in to Acura to ask them to touch it up? Or should i do it myself? In any situation, how much should this cost to fix?

My scrape is very very minor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

a professional should be able to color match it, touch it up and wet sand it for you.

If you scraped a part that is not too visible, then I'd say just get the touch up paint from the dealer and do it yourself. If it is visible and bothers you, then bring it to a body shop and have them touch it up.

I scraped my front left body kit too. It's somewhat visinble but I touched it up myself. It's not the greatest job.. the touch up paint isn't even that great when it comes to color matching... but hey, at least it's not that visible. I think I'm going to leave it like that since I know I will scrape some more.

I f+++ed up my kit too! I sanded down the f+++ed up part and then blended it in w/ factory match spray paint. Pretty easy, unnoticeable & inexpensive!
