Default Need help what to do?

OK I have a 94' with rock chips on the hood and have lived with it for some time now. If I'm going to enjoy the car that kind of stuff is going to happen. BUT last night I had a worker back into the front of my car.
It isn't all that bad and I could probably buff it out and the average person would never know. The problem is there is now a small ripple in the center molding where the bumper is. That could be a problem later on. So the question is do I live with it or do I bite the bullet and repaint the hood and front bumper to take care of the rock chips and small scraches. I stay far away from repaints myself, but if I take pictures to show why it's been repainted would that matter? Also, I would worry about the paint matching up. The paint on the car is in GREAT SHAPE!.

So what should I do?

A very good painter can match up the paint so no one will ever see the difference. The trick is to find the right painter.

Agreed, but a trained eye can almost always tell even if it is something as simple as it looks too good.

I'd like a C4 with no nose chips and it looks factory with 100,000 miles.
Definately a repaint.

A good painter can do wonders but anytime I've had to get work or seen others get work you are never 100% pleased.

I'm not sure what the website is but there is a guy that has pictures of zr-1 on his personal site. He is a member of CF. You can see pictures there. Mine is the red/Tan 94' in Tulsa.
