Damaged Paintwork.

Damaged Paintwork.
Hi All.
Ive been working away for a couple of weeks and getting back yesterday took my scooby for a spin and a wash. To my horror on all the flat panels of the car there was tiny spots of rust. I dont mean one or two but hundreds. They were tiny pieces of metal embedded into the paintwork. I have cleaned most of them off and polished the car like mad but there is lots of tiny black marks left.
I have just found out, before I went away my car was in my unit and one of my d*ckhead staff was welding a tipper and ground out the steelwork sending shards of hot metal all over my car.
He is close to getting the bullet and a good slapping. Can any bodywork guys
advise, do you think it can be cut and polished. I dont want to have a respray but I do want the car as was before this effing tit damaged it.
The scooby is 04 with metallic paint.
Cheers......

id get that c*nt to pay for being a total knohead personally. on a 3/4 year old car, i bet it looks terrible. make sure he gets the sack, or castrated.... maybe both.
for a respray, over £2k easily for metallic paint.

Mark sorry to her this, the chap is a pillock for doing such work close to your car.
OK then, cannot polish this out out as the metal bits will pick up in the compound and/or cloth/pad you use and damage the paint even more.
Your car will need a respray after careful prep to remove all traces, so a full and proper job, best you can afford - or he can afford. Might be an insurance job. As pointed out check your glass all around + lights/lenses for damage.

Hi guys, I don't know if I'm in the right place if I'm not re direct me.
I'm a newbie, I have a 1998 forester stb automatic and want to know if the
(Pivot speed meter v) will work for me. The speed limit is now at 180 kph.
I need to get rid of that, have anyone used this device please let me know.

Cheers Paul.
If anyone knows a good body shop in the North West. Close to Liverpool would be great.
Monday tomorrow, time to come face to face with the arsehole who killed my pride and joy. I hope I can keep a lid on it.
Thanks again for all your help Guys......
