What are the metal shavings from? Grinding, cutting, welding? That stinks, repair depends on how deep they are. Otherwise fix it by having your bro cut a check to the paint shop

I had a bunch of taconite dust embedded in my paint, and most, if not all of it (including the rust looking stuff) came out with a claybar. Granted it didn't look quite as bad as yours, but it's worth a shot, and is alot less work intensive than sanding. Good luck!

This may be a dumb idea but can you get them out using a strong magnet, then sand and polish? Seems like you would just scratch the **** out of the paint if you tried to sand or buff them out.
