GizmoGold Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I just left my office and noticed that a woman at work has decided to park stupidly close and open her door onto my Z =| there's a line of chipped paint now 😡 How would this get repaired? The car was spotless before and I don't want a cheap touch up to ruin it http://imgur.com/a/nAyQ5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 15, 2015 by GizmoGold Quote

coldel Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 "one mans chip is another mans potato" love it! If its a small job you could get in a mobile service, if you fancy spending some cash I always recommend TGM in Fleet who's work is faultless. Quote
GizmoGold Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 You need to post a picture. one mans chip is another mans potato. Good point! I'll get one up ASAP Quote

Added a link to some pics =) The annoying this is I just checked the woman's car and the door doesn't line up with the scratch. So it must have been done last night and I didn't notice this morning Quote
mdunbar Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Looks a bit deep for the old T Cut and machine polish. I might be wrong though, hard to tell from a photo. Local body repair shop? Won't cost much to blend that in I shouldn't imagine... Quote
Grundy Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Looks to me like you are never getting out of user sub Quote

GreenLandy Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 That sounds very expensive. A colleague used chips away as he knew the bloke who did the franchise (this was crowthorne, not sure where he was based mind). He repainted a major bumper scuff (much worse than yours) for about £120 I think. I inspected it afterwards and you couldn't see the slightest hint it had been done Quote

Bodyboarder81 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I have all my bodywork stuff done at motorsport services at waltham chase ..... Speak to andy and he will sort you out . Im very picky with this sort of thing but they are really good and very very reasonable . 1 Quote
Ricey Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Do not use fecking shitsaway for the love of god. If you wanted a tooth removing would you get the dentist to do it on your drive? 250 is a good quote pal. Small scratch big panel......panel has to be sprayed to get it right not just the damaged area Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 And you will needed blended in ... As it will stick out like a soar thumb Quote

Juggalo Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 This is why people park in two spaces. They're twats, because every other inconsiderate **** drives them to it. 1 Quote
R88RPE Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I work in bodyshop and iv done smart repair. I wouldn't touch a mobile repairer with a barge poll! Especially chips away! Get to a proper bodyshop with a decent oven 1 Quote
