I bought a new Jeep over the week end, but it has some paint issues. It is a rare Jeep for its year and I have wanted one since it came out.
These are some examples of what I am working with.
Need to get my own photograph: http://www.nonamestudios.com/albums/jeep/Green.jpg

Better angle on the scratches(Reflections from the keys are showing here and the key only goes in halfway.): http://www.nonamestudios.com/albums/jeep/IMG_0573w.jpg
Always properly secure cargo: http://www.nonamestudios.com/albums/jeep/IMG_0574w.jpg
For the rear hatch, I believe I may just dropped that off with a painter to have it completely repainted on the inside. No blending should be required since the adjacent areas are covered in carpet.
For the rest of the places, should I buff them first before getting the paint repaired or wait until after? I have heard about swirls being permanently painted over though.
For the fender flares, I am going to torch them to restore their black finish. The stock flares unfortunately have barely any ultra-violet protection.
