Basically, now ive got my car back, there's a few bit that i'd like sorted. A lot of feature cars look nice, like mine, when in the mags etc. but when you look closely, theres imperfections. I dont want this!

So what sort of price would i be looking to get it sprayed to PERFECTION??
And any recommendations, eg main dealer?

Perfection = Not a single blemish,spot of 'pitting' or where the silicone has 'smoothed' the arches on, take out a couple of lumps in that.

'Take it back' -- I'll just drive 200 miles then, so that i can be REALLY picky about a job that was essentially done very economically!!

just because you paid not much doesnt mean it should be shit though. fibreglass will pinhole there isnt much you can do bout it exect paint it see where they all are then fill em up and repaint.

if id paid for it to be perfect id have paid a LOT more than i did. I'm not annoyed about the quality, no-one else has even commented on the couple of bits of paintwork i would rather be re-done.

Don't think you'll ever be able to guarantee perfect as there is always someone that will pick a hole in something or find a bit that they reckon could be done better.

you said its an everyday car if so you are fighting a losing battle for perfection i am afraid.
you can have the 'perfect' bodywork, you have the risks of stone chips, shopping trolleys hitting you (no not another corsa , other cars hitting you when parked up, everytime you wash the car you notice something new.

trying to obtain perfection you will just end up going mad
