So I got a scuff on my bumper - the painted part, not the lower plastic. It was about a 4 x 2 inch area that I tried to fix myself. I ended up covering the scuff, but dulled the finish (below the clearcoat) because I wet sanded too much. Touch up pen wouldn't cover the area and would look like shit.
I took it to my local body shop, showed him the damage, and he tells me that he can definately fix it but I have to come back because "its raining and my paint won't dry in damp weather." Fine.
I go back two days later ... he's too busy. Come back again.
I go back AGAIN ... family emergency, gotta run. Come back again.
So I finally go back for the fourth time today. He keeps me waiting for a half hour, only to come back in and tell me: "I can't fix it because VW's have a three layer foundation and my paint won't match it right."
What kind of body shop is that? And is what he said about the paint layers true? :help:
