Scratch / Stone Chip Repair

Postby tuned_to_fly » Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:50 am

Hi all,

I made a slight boo boo last night in my up until that point immaculate NB8A which has resulted in a scratch in my rear bumper maybe 7cm long which is down to the plastic and a chip out of the boot lid (near the Mazda badge) which is maybe 3mm wide and also down to the metal.

Rather than have the lot resprayed I was wondering if anyone has ever used companies such as 'the touch up guys' and what the results were like? I'm keen to spend as little as possible however I'm a perfectionist so if their work isn't perfect it'll be off to my panel beater for a debadging and spray :D

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Brad

I've used the mobile guys who do paint repairs. They mostly do a great job but it's no substitute for a panel shop. It really comes down to how fussy you are agianst how much cash you want to fork out.
