Hi Guys, just after a bit of advice.
I'm looking to buy a car with Pearlescent White paint, but have already found out through a chat with the seller that the rear bumper will need a paint repair due to a significant scuff/scrape.
Assuming it is an original paint code is it possible to simply respray the bumper or because of the pearlescent paint am I going to be told that a full respray is in order?
Sorry if that's a daft question, but rather not buy the car then found out that is the case.
Thanks.

Don't worry mate It's usually a 3 layer pearl. Nothing a decent painter can't match.

I've done a number of 3 coat pearls as SMART repairs & with one exception which turned out to have had a respray not had any problems.
