Most body shops leave a great deal to be desired. Part of the reason is that insurance companies are a bit tight-fisted, and they must be willing to work to a modest hourly rate to be 'approved' by the referring insurance company. It is difficult for a local shop to duplicate the million dollar type dust-free paint booths in the factory, so minute specks of dust in the finish can be common.
Since the bumper is being refinished, it is quite important to be sure that the shop uses a so-called 'flex' polyurethane additive in the paint. Otherwise, months from now you may be seeing hairline cracks in the paint film due to flexing of the soft bumper material.
