Well I've only had my car two weeks and someone from my work scratched the rear wheel arch (10 Inch scratch). He is putting it through his insurance. My car is chameleon green and I was wondering if they can touch it up or will a respray be needed?

Thank you
Karl

I would be supprised if someone could touch up a chameleon paint, but that said there are some very clever people out there smile

That's the answer I was looking for.

DOes that mean the rear, rear sides and roof of the car will need to be resprayed as it's all one panel?

Thank you for the posts.

I'll try the Detailing section.
