To get my car resprayed?

My leased car has been treated badly as a family car and has some dents and scratches. Should I a) get them all resprayed so the car looks as good as new, at considerable expense.
B) get the worst done so it doesn't look like a 10 year old car instead of a 2 year old car or c) not bother, they will take off an obscene amount for a respray if they find even the tiniest scratch.

No, buy a tester from halfords, they have extensive range that should provide you with a perfect match. Ve always do e this on my own cars and even did this as a teenager when I scratched my dads beloved Buick. He never noticed!

The dents can be taken out with a panel beater although id not bother unless they are really bad.

Try a chips away and dent away man (its who the dealers/lease companies use) they will be your friend. I wouldn't advise attempting it yourself unless your super good at that sort of thing.
