Was there a warranty at CarMax? Most of the time it is bought as is. If that's the case, then you may not be good. If CarMax is cool, then they may help you.

i have an extended warranty just dont know if its through carmax. regardless though i think they should be liable bc they arent supposed to sell cars that had repairs. and they know it had repairs bc i took it into gt it appraised and they said that my driver door had been repainted. i said i never did i and that i had but it their and then they couldnt answer and said it wasnt a big deal and it didnt lower the value of the car. im going right now and ill let you guys know what happens

aslong as the rest of the door looks good. you can get them to just blend it in with the rest of the door and it will be alot cheaper.

+1. Just get them to blend it in with the rest of the door as long as the rest of the door is in good shape.
