Stone chips
I'd be very wary of getting a respray on a bonnet - I'm a full time car detailer and see panels up close and personal every day and have been doing this 4 years. A lot of bodyshop work is extremely poor with orange peel, sanding scratches and rotary holograms typical in the final finish - even from "manufacturer approved" bodyshops.

It’s fairly easy to be critical of paint sprayers on bonnets and I totally agree that bonnets are difficult to spray and some are sub standard finishes. In fact most factory finishes leave a lot to be desired, but what would you do with a stone chipped bonnet?Dazarooni wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 10:09 pm I'd be very wary of getting a respray on a bonnet - I'm a full time car detailer and see panels up close and personal every day and have been doing this 4 years.

Bumpers are always a problem especially colour matching. Look at most new cars & the bumpers are not exact in colour to rest of car. Plastic against steel & bumpers maybe painted at a different shop.

It would entirely depend on the severity. I can tidy up orange peel, sanding scratches and holograms but it's time consuming.cj10jeeper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 9:05 amIt’s fairly easy to be critical of paint sprayers on bonnets and I totally agree that bonnets are difficult to spray and some are sub standard finishes.

Chipsaway, but see if you can see their work before committing. The guy I use is brilliant & very reasonable compared to body shops. Do not use a mobile one, only one with a unit. Cannot say it enough, check previous work done.
