the mot tester will use a cat tool which is designed not to damage paintwork

Just have a word with them first, to be fair if the car was mint and painted i wouldn't use the cat tool, just finger and thumb pressure would be fine.

Cheers guys there's no rot, as we stripped it 2 bare metal cut out the few bits we did find weld new pieces in, ground the welds flat etc, then etch primed, stone chipped, base coat & lacquered, but last thing I want is dents & scratches cause he won't believe me

But cheers for info I'll have a word & see whats said??
