At 360 microns the paint needs stripping back to metal and priming properly. Any more than 200 microns will sink over time.

Trouble is, I think the Guy sounds like he will just go over it again or just fade into the pillar and door.

I can't believe that BMW can use such an outfit. My friend specifically asked for a first class job with no expense spared. The body shop owner said if my friend wasn't happy he would do it again. He also said that the colour match would be perfect because they use the genuine BMW Glasurit paint.

Now things are turning sour the guy is saying 'what do you expect on a 2 year old car?'. Bring it back and I will fade into the adjacent panels. WTF? the paint is a completely different colour!

It would have been a lot easier if the bill was paid on credit card, but he paid by cheque. (The weather was dull when he picked it up)
