The $5,800.00 mistake

Entertaining read, thats for sure!

Consensus seems to be that this should not require a $5800 repair, but it's moparman's call and he's the one who has to be satisfied in the end. Myself, I'd be concerned about the potential for damage to the rest of the car during this process. How often do you hear about something like this where the clear reacts in some unforseen way and ruins the entire paint job? Moparman, if you're still reading this thread, I'd reconsider the method. I know it's not about money, trailer queens, cornshucking, or whatever. You've got a car to be proud of and a paint job to be proud of. I believe it is a fact that the scratch could be repaired without reclearing the entire car and nobody, including yourself and show judges would be able to detect the repair.
