+1.

The fresh clearcoat is very soft, avoid rubbing anything on it that will create friction for at least a few weeks.

So I got it done today.. it looks good, nice and new. Xcept the 'nice and new' doesn't exactly match the rest of my car. FML again..

Pearl white is the most difficult colour to match. I had my front bumper done on my 051 SC this summer and it took the shop 2 attempts to achieve an acceptable match. It's still not perfect.
