Anyone on here used chips away or anything similar? ive got them coming out tomorrow to sort my car.. i caught it. Any ideas how much it will cost?

Cheers.

If you're keeping the car, cancel it, get it done at a decent bodyshop. Black + Smart repair + Chips Away = disaster.

i personall wouldnt use them ever again, painted my bumper on my old car the wrong colour and tried blagging his way out of it, never again

like with any franchise it's swings and roundabouts. Take a gamble or get it done in a shop as suggested

Im not keeping the car im selling it so this is the last thing i need. the guy is here at the moment and he seems a nice guy and knows what he is doing.. only time will tell.

I had a guy from chips away come out to sort a mark on the bumper of a hire car I had - 75 quid to do it - was probably here a couple of hours, and you really couldn't tell it had been done.

Can't comment on longetivity of the repair as I gave the car back a couple of days later!

 

[pritchp]

Cheers for the info. he has filled in the bits and primed it all. just spraying it black now. it looks very good so far! like i said, im not that fussed on longetivity as im selling the car

Get pics up once he's done mate.

 

[pritchp]

will do mate

do all scratches like the one in the photo need filler?
I thought it could just be sanded down to make it smooth then primer/paint etc?
Just wondering lol.
