Calling on Boston/Waltham/Southern NH etc..Area Detailers (pics Included)

Hi All,

I recently Joined this community looking for some help with my paint.

I will get right to the point. I have a BMW 330Xi in Topaz Blue.

The attached pictures clearly show the imperfections in the paint.

Anyone local who can take a look? recommend? take on this challenge?

Is this even fixable?

Thanks All!

Just to chime in, those are sanding marks. You must have gotten some body work done recently. The job will take some wetsanding and buffing, but I know you will find someone on here who can do a fantastic job repairing your paint.

IMO those appear to be *under* the paint. If you can go back to wherever it was done you should. If it is indeed under the paint it wont be a cheap fix as repainting will be necessary.

thanks for the quick feedback..They are over all of the body of the car...I know the car was painted after i was rear ended..but it was just the rear..The front might have been repainted before i got it. But It doesnt seem like the whole car was repainted...although those marks are practically on every panel.

Addy, see if you can hook up with forum brother "rydawg" He's got the sort of talent you seek.

Take care.
