Yeh sounds like you will have to get the bonnet re painted to be mint again

Depends what kind of job you want, you could just touch them up, you will be able to see it but your pocket will be a couple of hundard quid better off.

Default hi

you say its fresh paint , iff your body man is any good he will be able to blow the small area in and laquer the rest off the bonnett , if your lucky he will have some off the same paint left..

Depends on damage, a body shop could just blow it in and laquer the bonnet.

Got a pic?

sure the smiley is cry not laugh mate. People use it wrong

Anyway, it sounds like a body shop job mate, especially on a big panel like the bonnet.

Was this at Cumbria yesterday?

definatly send it to the bodyshop as a touch up will be hard to match in.will also stand out and ruin the appearance of the car
