I don't know anything about painting but I am curious if what I was told a few years back is correct or not. I had a black Lincoln LS a few years back and I was considering having the entire front bumper repainted due to rock chips. When I took it into the body shop he said it was probably better if they simply did some touch up work versus repaint the entire bumper. His reasoning was that the paint from the factory is a much more durable paint than what he could put on.
Is there any truth to this? Why wouldn't a body shop be able to apply the same products as the factory?
