Would be good to build up a library of before and after pics from various repairs / repairers as I know many on here have deliberated either having a SMART repair undertaken v's a 'bodyshop job'.  |
Not sure how long it lasts....and I think that the area done can all play on the longevity of the repair....
I had a wing mirror cap done...and 3 years on it's now covered in tiny pit marks where the repair as lifted from the original and left a 'hole'. They diminish with a polish for a short while, but you can seem them up close.....
Had another one done to a leading corner on the front bumper last summer....that too is just starting to show these same small pits.....and if you go anywhere near the repairs with the likes of a G220 the colour comes away on the pads....
Think they do a good cover up job....but that's all.
