Default how easy

hey all, ive just spent the best part of 2 days detailing my car and as im such a perfectionist the smallest imperfection annoys the cr*p outa me, cleaning the front end ive noticed a hell of a lot of stone chips :'( when i got the car is had very few, how easy is wr blue to match up if i get a body shop to respray the front end, bonnet, wings and bumper will anyone look at the car and know its been sprayed? only reason i ask is my old car had a door professionally sprayed and it was completely off,

If the sprayer is any good he should match it up ok. Remember though, colour always looks slightly different on plastic (bumper) than on metal...even on new cars

Yeah, my front end is peppered with them. Just need to save some cash to get it sorted....which is difficult as at the moment it`s one thing after another. I`m slowly losing interest in Subaru tbh.

It will only get stone chips as soon as you get it sprayed which will annoy you even more.
Why not get a touch up pen and do it yourself and then keep doing it. Touch up and then polish down.
