To be honest there is a couple of blemishs in the paint as it wasn't the most expensive job,but its always gona be a daily so im not too bothered.I think they probably could be wet sanded out but im to chicken to do it myself haha if anyone is confident they are more than welcome to have a go

Headlights are off for a refurb tomorrow as there discoloured and stone chipped aswel.Just trying to get it as tidy as possible before my local Alltypes show in may.Anyone else heading down for it?
cheers
Daz

Well as usual with my luck i got two stonechips on my bonnet already :shock:
But i took the car back to the bodyshop today as they were refurbishing my headlights and they spotted the little blemishs i mentioned and have decided to repaint the whole bonnet again for FREE :D Apparently its called a "halo" and is where the paint reacts.So that will sort out my stonechips aswel.Happy days :)
There going to fit the car in towards the end of next week,and i now have shiney new headlights again as they were quite badly chipped and discoloured!No pics yet but il get some sorted when i give it a wash over the weekend.
Also ive bit the bullet and booked the car in for a full paint correction on the 11th of may.I know there are a few small bits they can't do due to laqueer peel but il get them sorted when funds allow,i just want all the minor scratches and swirls removed
