Thanks. I've never had to have repaint done before, so I don't know too mcuh about it. I just want to make sure I'm getting it done right, and not some hack job.

Are resprays typically applied as thick as the factory finish? I've seen a couple reapints (done by other shops) and they seems to have gotten stone chips very easily from daily driving, to the point where they look horrible and appear like the bumper was blasted with sand. My car is a daily driver, so I don't want the bumper to be all messed up a year later. I hope that this repaint of the bumper will hold up to the life of the car. Is that too much to expect from a respray?

Also, do you think I'll run into any problems with an repaint clear being a different tint against the rest of the factory clear coat?
