A bug is going to be the same mate unless you buy a new car more or less every car out there will need some paint work.

Pics of the car in question and the paint defects might help us..

yes they stripped the car to the bones, filled all dents and sprayed it, note my roof is carbon so i did not get mine done, £1000 cash and they moulded my skirts and body kit into a seamless finnish, its back there now getting the arch trims put on and some smaller side skirts as the snow on the moors killed one, if you want there numbe pm me and ill send it you, full respray took them around 10 days but they are very very good,.
