Well my wife hit my brand new car this am . Less than a year and a half old and she's taken the front end and now the whole driver's side. I can't belive I'm so calm. That's after I buffed it.
It's not too bad. If you want to save some money and not go to a body shop there may be a good mobile recon paint company in your area that does side jobs or "customer" jobs. I did mobile paint recon for dealerships for a few years and the kicker is we painted things like that in their parking lots. It sounds crazy but we were a fraction of the body shop price and I must say, many times it looked better. Anyhoo..just a thought to save some quiche

So therapy session is how she accidentally hit your car? Lol. Well...side note..you could call the dealership parts department and give them thr last 6-8 of your VIN and they can get you some touch up. Sometimes they have brushes within the bottle..otherwise you could grab some model paint brushes. The paint code is on the inside of the driver door jamb on a label/sticker...names don't matter...just the code

Actually it's vw...either under hood or in trunk most likely. Either way....parts department and Vin is your solution.

Multiple coats are better than trying to dab a huge glob on there. And if there's any "transfer" paint from her car...a paper towel or micro fiber with lacquer thinner will rub it off. Won't hurt but will need a good wipe with a wax or whatever where you thinned it.

Magic eraser worked great to get the other paint off.

That's what it is lol.
It's probably a blue metallic flake...not actually pearl...in which case..its a 2 coat. The coat/stage # includes the addition of clear for the last coat. I.e. pearl is paint, then pearl coat over that in varying degrees, then clear. 2 coat is paint then clear
