Is it worth it to have minor paint blemishes retouched?

My TL recently had a full body paint job in December. It came out great except for a few nicks and some parts that are peeling and cracking. They are barely noticeable, should I take it back and have them fix those things? It is free of charge because of the warranty but I was wondering since they have to make the paint blend in perfectly maybe it wont come out as good. What do you guys think?

don't bitch.. thats just stupid..

just inform them and let them kno that you noticed some parts with cracks and peeling and that you'd like them to repaint those areas

if they actually gave you warranty, then they would be glad to..

That's that I did, and they said they would do it free of charge. I just didn't want to do it if it was going to come out looking worse than before, as in different shades of color and such.
