20 year old car paintwork issues
Discussion
Hi Guys.
Inherited FiL`s Jaguar, 95 Sovereign metallic sapphire blue I think, a couple of years ago & have been rectifying various issues as time has permitted.
My next fairly major, read expensive, task is bodywork. I have decided to do what she needs, bonnet, boot, boot scuttle, bumper corners & a door top. The damage on panels, lacquer lift, was apparently caused by a pressure washer & i`ve spoken with a spray shop & they explained how they blend to match etc they have a good reputation & work I saw looked high quality to me, a layman, so all good.
What I want to know is should I have the paintwork `mopped` prior to it going into the bodyshop? Maybe that sounds daft but the roof has so many swirls, scratches & the like I am concerned it will look completely wrong if Its done afterwards.
I know nothing of detailing or mopping so it will be given to someone to sort, under bonnet too, or should I just let bodyshop mop it & have it detailed after it comes back?
For clarification this car has no rust where Jag`s usually rust & has only covered 58000 miles so I wont be getting any calls to say its like an old pear!
