If repainting can EVER be avoided, then by all means, avoid it. If the touched up scratch looks acceptable, then let it be. NO matter how good the paint job is, and no matter what anyone tells you, as far as dealers are concerned, it does devalue the car and they can tell...believe me, even a good paint job can be detected by a trained person.
