i assumed when they said they were going to base the entire hood that they'd feather the stone chips. that's why i asked the question in the first place. the original question was in regards to that point. is it common practice for shops to paint over chips? that was what i was asking.
now, after having the car back for a couple of days, there's another problem. i can see the outline of the repair. there's a fuzzy line you only see in certain light. either it's sand scratch or maybe the base lifted the substrate at the edge. i think it's under the clear but it's hard to tell.
i don't want to be an ass about it, and i'm not trying to get something for free. i said that at the beginning. i do however, want a decent repair.
i was just going to let it go, but now what?
