I had a scratch on my right rear quarter panel just below the gas cap. I started to wet sand it down with 2000 and just before I had it completely gone my girl came outside and was like " when are we going to dinner?" So I started to hurry and ended up sanding thru the paint into the primer! My mistake, you have to be free from distractions and really pay attention. My car is titianium silver metallic and the paint seems to be real thin, so I would be very carefull. Maybe the darker cars have a thicker coat of paint but not ti silver. I'm going to sand down and repaint the quarter panel myself, the dealer wants $1100! I'll try myself first with paint from (automotive touch up paint.com), I've used it to paint my reflectors and it matches perfectly. They sell it buy the pint, quart or gallon and they also sell it in a spray can. If I screw it up then I can always have the dealer fix it, we'll see.
