Should I let the dealer paint my new car?

Should I let them spray it? Or touch it up?

Agree. I worked at a dealership for a long time and they will go the cheapest route unless you are very firm and make it clear that you arnt settling for anything less than 100%

I can agree because I also work for a dealership.

I would let the dealer repair. Blending is easily done by a competent body shop. There is recourse if the dealer initiates the repair and the shop screws up that would not be available if you chose a local body shop to do the repair. If they do the job correctly you will not be able to see it, and it will be good for as long as the new car warranty exists.
 
Respray the panel and if they don't get it right make them do it until it is right. You paid for a new car. The touch up will bug you until you sell the car.

You get yours done yet? I'm still badgering the dealer. They don't want to give me a loaner. Found spots on the other fender too, so both fenders have to be painted. Trying to get them to agree to take off the fenders, so it's not sitting in the body shop. They think I'm paranoid. But heck, brand new car with paint defects makes people paranoid.
 
As many have said. Repaint the entire panel. I actually did get my car replaced for bad paint. But it was an entirely different situation. On my 2010 Red Jewel Tint trip stage paint I had the rear quarter which included the pillar on that side all the way to the break when the car was a month old. I had it for 6 years and you could never tell any difference in the paint.
 
it looks as if it's a bad rock chip and their appears to be paint on the headlight lens

Mine is going in Sept 12.
They are removing both quarter panels and repainting.
Good luck with yours.
