Nice one 

Had a front wing resprayed on my last Diamond Black GTi - perfect match apart from a very slight difference in the pearlescent flake pattern. which you could'nt see until the sum came out.

I had a front wing repaired and sprayed on my steel grey ED30, when it was only 3 months old, the match was spot-on, then 2 months later I was waxing it again and noticed runs in the clear-coat, I'm positive they weren't there intially, I would have noticed due to my OCD . Took it back to repairer and he reckons that sometimes paints and clear-cote settle over time due to the difference in drying times. He could have been talking b@ll@x but he polished the imperfections out and it was spot-on again . Think it was 180 quid

I had the front bonnet and bumper re-sprayed on my black Audi at a local bodyshop.  The local BMW dealer uses them for all their work and the finish was A1    It was around £250 but well worth it.

I have a fair amount of tiny chips on the golf.  It looks as if someone's been flicking white paint on it when it's zymol'd.  I usually add a coat of black wax to the bonnet and it looks like new again

Why not get a decent touch up paint and give that a try ?

I just picked my car up from the painters last night after having the bumper,bonnet and wings redone due to stone chipping.
Match is bang on ( red spice metallic)even under yellow street lighting its spot on.

Don't see any problem with a car thats newish providing the rest of the paintwork has been looked after. The painter (if he's any good)won't have any issues matching it at all.

Hi Colb666, I am in Glasgow,  can you recommend your paint shop? I need a bonnet respray and probably will have to get the wings blended in.  I am tornado red, which I keep hearing is notoriously difficult to match, so could do with some good recommendations.
