Given my experience, they opted to have a 3rd party do the work...
I started out with paint chips in the hood. Body shop (not dealer) did touch up, dealer not happy, body shop shot car with clear over repaired chips, came back horribly buffed/polished - tons of swirls and halo/holograming. Took to dealer again, was told to wait a few more weeks for the paint to completely cure, took it again to them after that, and they had the body shop buff it out.
It looks pretty good now, there's about a 1" wide area near the edge of the hood near the A pillar on the drivers side that I can still see some issues, which when I showed the detailer, neither of us could find it in that light...
If I had to do it over again, I would have done it the same way, as the paint chips weren't anything of my fault. I do wish they got it right from the beginnnig, instead of having to make 4 trips. (initial inspection, 1st appointment, 2nd inspection, 2nd appointment) - but it didn't cost me anything in terms of money out of pocket, so, I guess it balances out. Better than I expected...
