I had dimples in mine and trash in the clear. My shop said they nibbed it(whatever that means). This was without a repaint and only took a couple of hours.

I brought it back to them to fix and they touched it up with touch-up paint and then scratched my bumper on top of that. So I brought it back to them a third time and they took it to a different shop. This time around I had the worst luck in the world...late Saturday night about two weeks ago, a drunk guy at IHOP across from the body shop decided to strip naked outside the restaurant, sprint across the street, and then dove through the glass door to the body shop. The glass sprayed all over my car and left scratches everywhere. I swear, this isn't a joke.
So I talked to the owner of Auto World on Atlantic and he swore to me that he'd take great care of my car and make sure it was done right this time around.
I went to pick up my car yesterday and the same kind of dimples and little bumps were all over the back bumper again. There were some on the front too, where they repainted it for me as a favor, but the shop owner said it was because of my rock chips.

So here's my conundrum. Am I being too picky? The supervisor said, "it's the human element--you'll get this with any paint job". I think that's a load of crap, but when it's your baby in the shop I guess you freak out more than usual. If anyone has been through this and can offer me advice I greatly appreciate it.

You can never be to picky with paint. If it looks worse than the factory paint job DON'T settle, you'll NEVER be happy.

I wonder how much it would be to repaint my front end from rock chips?

Did you check the spring pressures or are you replacing them for good measure? Just wondering, it's time for me to check mine. I'm having a hard time finding a pressure checker and don't really wanna buy one if I can borrow one.

I am thinking about it. A few people want to check out my supercharger, it's just a bit of a drive from me. But if there's gonna be a turnout then I will come.
