I got my sri replica spoiler back from the bodyshop about a week ago, last night i bonded it on with tigerseal and used masking tape, when I removed the tape today there is imprints of the tape and it looks quite rough, is there any way I can try to remove these marks? tried a clay bar with no change

it will take one layer off but if you're careful and dont go too hard with it and use a really fine grit you should be fine

they havent and they have even admitted it, they said the paint has reacted underneath, not necessarily because they are a shit bodyshop because even the best painters can still get reactions, even so its there responsibility to re-do i

Use some 3000 grit and then try 2500 if its not enough. However you should be able to mop the paint regardless of the material being painted

The paint shouldn't be that soft a week after it's been done?
