Is it easier to get these cars resprayed if you get a scrape? I have a car that is black but has a lot of multicoloured flake in the paint, I just know when I get the bumper touched up it will be so obvious.

    Non-metallic paints are easier to get repaired as long as the paint code is matched exactly. Otherwise it can stick out if the paint is slightly off. Also usually needs a wet sand on the clearcoat because the orange peel almost never matches the factory orange peel.
