Hi guys,
A while ago AAMI had to respray my cars bonnet/bumper and fender due to an idiot they insured hitting me.
The paint on the bumper /bonnet is peeling and bubbling.

The hail storm hit my car's bonnet quite hard (only bit that was damaged)
Im getting a free repaint due to the paint bubbling/peeling in under a year.
my question is, CAN they repaint it without fixing the dents?
or do i have to pay to fix it :P
Need a prompt response im going in tomorrow!!

Also, whats a good oil to use for a DC2 vti-r 235k km's (i wanna do my first self service)

Thanks a bunch,
David ! :)

genaraly no painter/panel beater will paint over dents, but becarful as aami are assholes and may try to blame the hail damage for the paint peel....

and you will have to make ur own claim on the hail damage or pay for the hail damage repairs urself....

Don't aami offer lifetime repairs satisfaction or something to that degree ?

I would think they would try to get it right the first time.

Thanks IEVAQ8, that was what i wanted to know.
I didnt want to front up and offer cash to fix dents in the bonnet if they had to do it anyway (due to the repaint).

AAMI do offer a 2 year guarentee, they did try to get it right, they fked up :P
