i need to paint the rear bumper, possibly hood and front bumper, not sure yet, depending on how deep the scratches are, but the rear bumper for sure. cant tell from the pics and hard to see, via crappy bb torch.

the car only has 13,000 kms, bought new, never driven during winter, will be hitting 2 years old soon, Magnetic black color.

someone on this forum on my other thread said not to blend if its still new, because you can never match the OEM factory paint, shouldnt spray over it and will ruin it, and that a good body shop shouldnt have a problem matching it since its in great condition and new.

another thing, "IF" blending was to be done, lets say to my rear bumper, i know they would have to blend the adjoining panels (hatch, and both sides quarter panels) BUT, my question is how much of the hatch n quarter panels will be blended, a bit ? or the whole thing, idk.

any expert advice will be appreciated greatly, thanks ahead !
