I completely agree. I've been in the bodyshop business for over 25 years. I'm EXTREMELY anal about paint...especially factory paint.
In fact, I'm on my 4th mini cooper in a year and a half. The first 3 were sold because they got scratches down to the paint.
I realize being in the bodyshop business I could have painted them (and I did on one of them) and make it flawless but it's not virgin paint.
The wierd thing is I don't mind bumpers getting painted but if I have to paint a door, it's outta here.
Wierd being in the business.... or should I just say anal.
