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

Sounds like they didn't prep it properly, has silicone on it or something

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