Is "spot touch up" possible?

My camaro has a blemish in the paint on the roof behind the T-tops. It's about 3" sq. I'd like to get that spot sprayed, then blended/rubbing compounded in. Any advice on how to find someone that's GOOD at doing such a thing?

I know there is some crazy-good bodyshop up in ogden that I'm sure can/could do it. Can't remember the name right off the top of my head though. look for bodyshops in ogden and I'm sure you'll find it. Other than that all I can recommend is askin various body shops around. Is this the ONLY bad spot on the maro? cause if not you should save up and get a completely new paint job. Most thirdgens I see have messed up paintjobs.

Thanks for the reply Pearl J.

The paint on my car is awesome...esspecially for being 20 years old. I'd like to not paint the whole thing as the blemish is really in just one spot, about 3" across. It's right on the roof, drivers side, behind the T-top. Bad place as there are no lines or creases anywhere near there to cut off a paint session. To do it, it HAS to be blended.

See a pic of the car here:

First two pics.
Are there any specific questiosn I coudl ask a body shop to pinpoint if they have the skills to do this type of task?
Thanks again for any input here.

I would just say the same thing you said on here, possably take it in. Would be easiest to just take it in, cause then they could see it and decide if they could fix it or not.
