Help - Paint advice/repair

[vipboy28]

Hi all,

I read a lot of conflicting things on the internet about paint repair. I want to take it to a shop but i dont want to get ripped off. I need advice!! Black gt500 with blue stripes! How much would they charge for something like this.

I want to get the following repaired:

1. Biggest concern is on the roof of the car near the stripe, there is a .5" radius hole. It wasnt there 2 weeks ago when i washed it. Paint looked good. Now literally a chunk of the roof is missing and paint is a weird distorted color around it like a chemical burn or something.
2. Road Rock chips down to the body of the car (looks white or off white). I have about 10-15 of these guys that are mostly small the size of pebble on the hood and nose of the car.
3. Body has 2 long chips roughly an inch in size down to grey body im assuming, paint is completely missing.
4. Hood has a bubble on front of the car where headlight very small and is on the lip of the hood. Bubble has color and paint but its a bubble
5. Small paint trade of grey melded into the pass door and an inch of missing paint on Pass door. Somone hit me but its hard to notice unless you stare at it
6. Black Swirls on the car from previous owner in clear coat, buff out maybe?

Alright lets see

1) Can you post a picture? Maybe a chemical drip/bird droppings (acidic burn) that ate through the clear and paint. A picture will determine if its salvageable or not through detailing.

2)These could be touched up.

3) Paint completely gone will need repaint. There's paint specialists that come around to the dealerships, I'd research the ones in your area and find one with a good reputation. Our guys just tape off and paint the area they need to paint, and do a great job of blending.

4) Picture would help here also.

5) If paint is missing it will require a repaint.

6) Swirls are normally removed with soft compound and then a polish to bring it back.
