Ya I wouldn't attempt this on your wing the scratch is just too long. But in my opinion as long as your going to let a detailer look at the wing you might as well let them take a look at the door as well. Who knows it may fall with in a price range your comfortable with. If not then give it a shot.

I had a BOM Acura RSX S. I noticed two small scratches on my back panel (about the size of the ones on your door) and decided i would try to touch it up myself.
So I headed to the local Car Quest and got the paint i needed. I feel I have a very steady hand so my plan was to use a fine hi-grade paint brush to fill in the scratches. Well needless to say that failed pretty quickly LOL.
Before i knew it I had a big glob of paint on my car in the general area of the scratches.
So i quickly grabbed a dry cloth and rubbed it off.

The paint filled in the scratch pretty seamlessly and came right off the clear.
My cousin "well **** man that worked out pretty damn well" lmao

I mean I could tell where the scratches were, but I already knew. For others it was pretty hard to tell.
