I'm taking it off the car and dropping it off at the shop.
The thing is, I'm just having the lower half of the bumper redome since that's where the damage is. The painter also suggested that this would be the best approach since color mathing to the original top half would not be a problem. What they are going to do is strip some of the lower areas where the paint has spider webbed, prime, and then respray and blend those areas. They are then going to wetsand the entire bumper and reclear the whole thing. Does this sound like a typical process for a quality durable finish?
I have done some research and found out that Sikkens/Akzo Nobel offers at least 3 or 4 different types of automotive clears. Does anyone happen to know which ones are best as far as durability and resisting rock chips?
