Message	There is few small scratch on my car. They are not something major, but I want it to be perfect. I was think to fix them. my friend told me that the body shop will sand the factory pain off and repaint that part. And repaint will never as good as factory paint. For example, the repaint will not last as long as factory paint and repaint is not as hard as factorys ones. Is he right? Can the repaint be as good as factory paint, if I go to a good body shop and pay the big money? Thanks for any help! Z_lover
