Ran into a BBQ... Touch up needed

Recommended Posts

Ran into a BBQ when camping (doh)..

 

Couple of scrapes that will polish out, but there are two chips. Not overly noticeable, but you should see the BBQ..

 

Paint is Storm White. Read somewhere that they don't do a touch up stick because it's difficult to get the colour just right and you need 3 different paints.

 

Is this true? Would this really be necessary for such a small chip?

 

 

Thanks!

Surely you could just use tip-ex, no? :stir:

 

Got some white emulsion. Will that do 😃?

 

3 stage pearl. It's a bugger to paint never mind touch in.

So the pearl touch up stick above wouldn't do the job?

It'll probably do for what you need mate but only expect to take the eye off it. You won't be getting it anything close to repaired

Thank you, I'll give that stick a go for the time being. Guessing the whole bumper would need re-spraying?

Fill it. Primer it. Wet sand it flat. Then get the whole car vinyl wrapped.

 

Yeah, that's gonna be my answer to all bodywork issues going forward :lol:

Just seen your wrapped zed.. Looks beautiful ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. I say yes but my wallet says no

You'll get away with a bumper corner blow in if the painter is skilled enough but that said it is a 3 stage pearl so I know a lot of people will run a mile from painting it never mind blowing it in

Sorry! going to have to ask the question that other are probably thinking....how did you manage to run into a BBQ?

 

Driving after imbibing too may burgers is not advisable, and doing do-nuts in the campsite will quickly alienate you. :p:lol:

 

I was just pulling away, forgot it was there and it was just low enough so I couldn't see it.. Then all of a sudden I hear a bang and knew straight away :blush: .

 

It was in the morning when lots of people were packing up to go so everybody was watching too :thumbdown: . You're probably right, too many under cooked sausages and burgers :lol:
