Default Scratched and chipped paint repair?

Ok, so I parked my car in the car port to keep it out the sun while I wasn't driving if for a few days. Came home, pulled it out to get it cleaned and my dog has had a party all over the bonnet, roof and boot lid!! Scratches everywhere and the roof has heaps of chips in the paint from his claws. Apart from choking the dog to death as a remedy......have any of you any recommendations on a good paint shop. The price doesn't bother me as long as it's a good job and I'm not ripped off. There are even claw marks in the rubber around the sunroof and chunks out of the strips where the roof racks would attach. I'm comprehensive insurance, would this be covered under 'accidental damage' do you think? Pics below of the scratches. Chips were hard to photograph. Thanks in advance. Dan

Owen Perth-WRX.com - View Profile: big o does jobs after hours. I had my bonnet and hood scoop fixed and he did a great job.

It also might be worth contacting Oli Perth-WRX.com - View Profile: WestCar Detailing to see if he is able to help without the need for repainting as he seems to be able to get some great results from damaged paint. Some of his work can be found here. http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/westcar-...nt-photos.html

Thanks guys. I just went to see joondalup smash repairs to see if it needs a re spray and the chips in the roof definitely need a paint job. I'll have a look at Oli and Owens profiles. Thanks for the help

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Sell dog. Use proceeds to fix car. Profit

I would give your insurer a call first of all.
If not, Owen at Meltham's will help a brother out.

U can also try use some #5000 (3000 if severe) sand paper followed with scratch remover, it should get most of them out. Thats how remoce key marks off paint

Haha I actually left the gate open when I went out yesterday hoping he would run off and disappear but no such luck.
I've had it looked at and the clear coat in the roof has been chipped in places and the sunroof seals have been slit by his claws. Having an insurance job to get it re-painted. If I can take it wherever I want then I'll check out Owen at Melthams. Normal case is taking it to wherever the insurer approves though I think

Depending on which insurer you are with Owen may be on their approved list.
