What to do ? I have had my 105 now for 6 months and I had a little accident with a drivers side door with the end result being a little chip just right of the door handle.... long story. The end result is I need to get it fixed as it exposed the metal and is about the size of a ten cent piece. I know it will mean the door and some of the panels on each side being sprayed to get the colour match correct etc... However, there are two other paint inperfections that I am drawn to when ever I look at the car, bearly noticeable to anyone else but it is bugging me. They are tiny little grit marks or dirt imperfections as if someone forgot to dust this tiny section (about half the size of a 5 cent piece ) before they sprayed the car. Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix these without doing a full respray given they are tiny but on the other side of the car.  Hence, just weighing up the costs etc and given to a normal person the car looks mint.... it's just I need to fix the drivers side door and if I do get the other little marks fixed, is it possible to get that done without affecting the quality of the car and then eventually needing to respray the whole car .....Any suggestions for good panel shop to assist would be welcomed and yes I am a newbie to all this ?

Depending on where you are located there are a number of Alfa-friendly shops around Melbourne that do excellent work with many satisfied customers. Give Sam's Panels in Clayton a call 9540 0515 or Paul at Rankin Panels in Bayswater 9729 0622. Both are very highly regarded and as a consequence are usually busy but I'm sure that they will help as best they can.
