-Paint readings repainted sections
OEM paint
The bonnet
Part of the repair work involved blending into the OEM paint in this section
And the the idiot who (presumably) ran the polisher from the much harder repainted section onto the much softer OEM paint, managed to lob off a huge amount of paint on the edges, leading to this
He also simply chose not to deal with 3 areas like this on the bootlid that all looked like this
BMW Approved repairs...
