My 997 turbo had some stone chips on the front end, a small mark on the rear bumper and a scrape on both rear aches (low down near the sill).
Being a perfectionist, and knowing a superb bodywork guy, I booked in in for a repaint (everything except the roof and decklid) - Here are some photos so far!
The roof and decklid we're absolutely perfect, so no requirement.

So makes sense then to paint both sides. The door shuts had some marks from shoes etc, so that's why they were done. The rear bumper had the usual road rash... it soon escalates lol

Wow! Great deal! I could almost ship mine there and have it painted for what a good paint job costs here in California!!
