Any body shop will do it after a respray. The final coat of paint is not the final finish! You will normally find once its been painted in a body shop, it looks shit after.
When pug did them originally though, they were painted under such controlled environments that it wasnt really needed so there is still a nice thick coat of lacquer on there.
Flatted back with 1500 grit paper and then cut with these two

Unfortunately i ran out of 105 after a first go over the rear quarter so thats why its still quite hazy. Ive put a coat of wax on it to protect it but that will be going in a few weeks when i can order some more cut and will go over it a few more times.
May do a guide once i take some more pics when i carry on. Want the whole car done before pugfest including a few little touchups.
