Is there any VAT or just import duty?

You can achieve a very high level. Its all about patience and being methodical. The dust in primer is not really a problem as it gets flatted out. I block back a number of times until am happy ( I am a perfectionist too). Use a slow panel wipe to check everything is straight and then talk to...

What type and colour of paint are you hoping to use - Direct Gloss or Base + Clear?

Hopefully we will see the car re listed properly and it will find a new owner

If the business (vendor) supplies misleading information to the auction site, the purchaser can take legal action against the vendor directly. The T&Cs for C&C are just in place to insulate themselves against this very issue.

Irrespective of any of the vendors caveats, if the car is being miss represented by the business selling it , any new purchaser has legal recourse to have the sale reversed.
