OK we're 6 weeks or so in on the Boxster journey. Pepper (for she has thus been christened by the wife) is due into Revolution at Birstall for a full medical in a few weeks but have noticed a couple of cosmetics that I'd also like to get addressed sooner rather than later.

Rear of front wheel arches look like they're starting to lose their paint and there's a couple of bubbles on the bonnet with what looks like poorly executed stone chip repairs. And the usual age related cleaning swirls and mini scratches etc.

So I'm looking at paint correction - is this the sort of thing it can sort? And are there any recommendations for specialists for this?

In addition, it looks like a previous owner has decided to DIY the calipers and done a pretty crap job of it. So I'm looking at getting them re-coated. Again any recommendations for a reliable firm for doing this? Be a drop the car off and leave it with them job.

Thanks in advance.
 
I have moved this from the Boxster Register section as I think you will get more replies from local regional members.
 
Revolution have body shop facilities at their new site. They repainted my calipers a few years ago & they are still looking good.

Ah cool, good to know I'll get them to quote for me. If you don't mind me asking Chris what sort of money did it end up costing?
 

Just checked and it is 7 years since I had my callipers done. I did not realise it was so long so it must have been done when they were at their old site and I can only find my service documentation at the moment. I am planning to speak to them about some work on a little corrosion around the bottom of my screen - the old 993 problem.
