I don't know if this would fall under the topic of PDR.

But, my wife's 2001 Monte Carlo SS came with the worst factory paint job I have ever seen. Look at the exterior the wrong way and the (obviously) one layer of cheap enamel errodes.

Personally, I am "Old School" when it comes to paint and body work and would simply strip the durned thing, featherfill it and then blow 15 coats of lacquer, let it harden for a month, wet sand and keep repeating until I had a perfect product.

However, I do realize that there may have been advances in the industry since the "good ol' days" of having to keep a vehicle for 6+ months for a pristine look.

Any suggestions as to how I can "blend" her scratches and retain her finish without having to go through a complete re-shoot?
