I suppose it's quicker for them to redo a whole panel than faff around with each chip.
That and the fact the water base paint is useless for the task, so for a job that is only ever going to be branded as a "touch up" to prevent rust, it then becomes something of a lose lose scenario. = The person employed to do the job gets a bad name and the customer isn't happy.Incidentally the switch over that all reputable companies complied to circa 2007 regarding solvent to water based products was - and still is a total farce.
But the paint manufacturers have made a packet!!

LOL. stone ships...very funny...just spotted it....I must be getting older in my, er, old age :-P
Will have a look around for respray specialists...ball park, what are we looking at to respray a bonnet?
I use my usual bodyshop in Sheffield for the DB9 as to be honest I just trust him and he knows I'm a whiny bh. Find a good local indy bodyshop that likes what they do and you'll be fine. My guy is in the corner and loks extremely dodgy but the guy is awesome.Will have a look around for respray specialists...ball park, what are we looking at to respray a bonnet?
Also watch out, the wings are fibreglass, my guy said you can't stick it in the oven if you paint the wings.
For the bonnet, bumper and 2 wings he'd charge £300. Mine after the front was sorted with chips etc.

Hi, I'd really appreciate details for the Sheffield bodyshop. I've a Porsche 996 with 60,000 miles worth of stone chips and I'd like to get it back to looking like it did when I bought 40,000miles ago.
Thanks Colin.
