Angry Suggestions

Any suggestions on how to fill these two chips. The truck is lithium gray, I took the picuture when it was very sunny outside. I asked the dealer not to touch up the paint and told them I would take care it, obviously they didn't listen and did it. I don't think the employee mixed the paint well on the pen and it came out darker, he did a horrible job. I wouldn't care if it wasn't so obvious but its right on the passenger door. How much would it cost if I took it to an auto body shop. I also have the touch up pen from ford but I need to start by fixing this guys mistake.

Depends on the shop. At my shop we'd do that for free. Even give you the bottle of touch up for free.

How in depth would a shop go with this, wet sanding or just filling it until its leveled?

#1. touch up paint NEVER matches 100%

#2. body shop probably won't go as far as wetsanding. Can't really wetsand touch up

For free? No. Just touch it up with the right color. Remember you are brushing on a color that is designed to be sprayed. And touch up bottles, unless they are waterborn, because that's what you're truck is, will not match perfect
