I'll second that piece of advice...whatever you think itty bitty speck is make it like half of that...I actually have used a tiny finish nail and dipped the very tip in to get what I needed and it was still too dark.

As far as getting it proffessionally done I guess it depends on how nice you want it....my boat being 1986 has its fair share of marks and such so an imperfect color match on some knicks below the water line doesnt bother me in the slightest. Step[ back a few feet and you cant hardly notice. If you truly want them to "disappear" I'd take it to a pro if you dont mind laying out the bucks.
