Damn.. I think my boy could spank that for next to nothing.. he would need a place to paint and the paint.

Outside of that he's good to go.

If you're interested PM me or e-mail me.

It won't happen till after the 1st, and he also does custom detailing (tint, pin-strip, ect.)

Peace

Are you serious? You think you should re-paint due to swirl marks? Do you even know what swirl marks are? They are very fine scratch left behind on the surface from either a too aggressive compound/wax or a too aggressive pad. A simple buff out from someone that knows what they are doing would more than take care of then. But if you would rather spend the money to re-paint, then have the car wetsanded and buffout, and probably have swirl marks again from the heavy buff, then spend about $100 to have it buff right, go for it.

Then you buff it out and let a slight dip in the clear coat (depending on how much damage is made..)

Like I said.. do it right, do it once.

You are not goig to cut that much of the clear coat if it is done right, like you said do it right, have them buffed out. It's cheaper, and not matter if you repaint or not the paint still needs to be buffed out. Plus repainting a car significantly decrease the value of the car. There is nothing right with repainting a car just because of swirls. But I'm finished arueingthis point with you. This is what I get paid to do and have been doing it for close to 7 years now. I think I know what I'm talking about.
