Hi James

I wouldn't worry. A paint job looks crap just before it's finished.

I think they have to rub it down before polishing it to get the really smooth finish.

I hope it turns out OK.

Cheers

Question

Hi James,

Is it a dealer or an independent body shop?

I'm having trouble finding reputable people who will take on non-insurance work.
