    Hi guys

    Long story short, car has been keyed and various dents are now on the car.... yay :mad:

    (Keying) on drivers door and slightly on the main body in the same area and seems to be clearcoat damage, but is deep.
    (Dents) are in one or two places, not too noticable, but are a pain to notice.
    (Paint damage and a little rust) has been found on the edges of the doors, probably been there since I bought the car as I'm very careful.

    Apart from that, I've various scratches from when I bought the car that are on the bumpers.

    It is in factory metalic silver, I've got the factory code, and from removing a badge lately (due to it flaking) I can verify that there is no fading of the paint, it is as new.

    I live in the South East. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Oh Ok, Apologies for being unclear, Can anyone recommend the following for the above situation:

    Bodyshops in the SouthEast (that will both do a good job and be reasonably priced)
    Ways of improving the keying? (Previous posts recommend t-cut and others don't)
    Any DIY repairs to the mentioned damage.

    If they're any people who are in the business of panel beating etc. As the paint is not faded, do they have to blow in areas, as it get's really expensive if they have to do this.

    Looks like it.

    Hang in there, there's a couple of guys here that know a thing or three about painting.
