Default Lacquer Damage

After my Stickering of my Car for Le Mans last year I carefully peeled all my vinyl off the car. It all came off remarkably painlessly but unfortunately it took some lacquer off the door, maybe 3 spots about 10cm by 10 cm around the rubbing strip.

Is It possible to get a body shop to repair this without painting the door, or will it all need to be stripped back and painted, along with the wing and rear quarter I expect.

If any bodywork people on here could offer some advice that would be good. Just want to know if there’s a cheap alternative or whether the car will need painting etc.

Cheers guys

Yes the door will need to be painted, as you would only be baseing up a small area you should get away with only painting the door.

I should think you would get the job done for Ł150.
