Franks team did a fantastic job when respraying the bonnet on my Alfa Romeo GTV. This was not a straightforward task as previous work had left layers of paint which had to be removed by hand because the bonnet is made of a composite material.The finish is superb as is the colour match. I would highly recommend Option 1.
