Garage have knackered my bonnet's paintwork

Touched up the paint a little on my bonnet yesterday. Took the car in to the garage this morning for them to double check the new silencer that was fitted last week which didn't seem right. I pick my car up to be told that the exhaust was fine but there was a problem with the bonnet. Whilst they were jet washing the bonnet a massive blister appeared (around the area that had been touched up). This'll now need an entire bonnet repaint at a cost of over £200 probably. Their line is that they wash all cars, which, if I'd known I'd have prevented obviously whilst the touch up job was still only recent. Got a lot of steam to vent before I can start to think about this rationally :mad:.

    Looks like whoever did it probably got too close with the lance. They'll be insured for such an event.

    Look on the bright side..at least you'll get a free freshly painted bonnet out of it without any touch up marks on.
