Swirls and such won't require new paint. Use the cost of repairing/repainting the mirror to negotiate a lower price.
Or walk. I probably would if the scratch requires more than a good buffing.

If you took the Infiniti to a body shop, you need to find another one. There are shops out there that do good, honest work.
If you took the I to a dealer, that's what you can expect.

Right, I understand that. I am very into the detailing world, which is also why I notice EVERYTHING, that the average person probably overlooks. I'm sure most people wouldn't even have seen the scratch on the mirror. I am very doubtful that the scratch can be buffed out, as it is in the paint. It is more than a surface blemish.

I took it to a body shop that is located near an Infiniti dealer. They told me they work on Infinitis all the time, so I assumed I would be safe. As far as body shops and dealers go, I trust almost none of them. They are all about making the quickest/easiest dollar possible. Quality work is rare to find.

I'd find another car.

It will take some work to find a good shop but they do exist. I couldn't be more pleased with the shop that fixed my Z after I wrecked it. Log on to some local BBSs and ask for recommendations/warnings
