Liquid Yellow

[Brad182]

Just wondering whether this may go by another name "in the industry" rather than just Liquid Yellow. Reason im asking is because Renault Quoted me £686 for a few scratch on my rear bumper and 1 tiny one just above the bumper apparently meaning repainting the whole wing.

Im not paying so not too fust, but just got another quote from a small body spraying place in broxbourne and they have quoted £250, but he called the colour something else after me calling it Liquid Yellow, he said this is the right colour. Just want to check...

Is this after giving them a paint code?

 

[Brad182]

He Looked in the door for that i think?

 

[Brad182]

Sorry people has anbody got a solid answer?

I want to book it in ASAP, if Renault is the only way to go shes going through her insurance Under her mums name (who doesn't actually know she's doent this)...oops

[Da]

what did he call it?

 

[Brad182]

I really can't remember he couldn't even read it, lol. began with M, i just wonderd if any other liquid owners have had paint work outside of Renault and had the same thing? I really don't want a cheap bodge job, i want the perfect colour just need some advice really...

 

[Da]

lol ,only thing i can think of is the french name which is Jaune liquide or something similar!

 

[Brad182]

Nope deffinatley had no Liquid in the name, but then i just wonderd whether its just a regular colour and Renault have just re-named it for their cars??

 

[Da]

no idea sorry mate.

 

[Brad182]

No problem cheers daz! I think Renault is best bet really...

The colour is Liquid Gold anyway.....not liquid yellow.

 

[Brad182]

I've always been told Liquid yellow and others on here call it liquid yellow??

 

[Bubbles]

Well my bodyshop who have done alot of work on my car call it liquid yellow... but to be honest, if he has the paintcode, he can call it whatever he likes, it will be liquid yellow?

 

[Brad182]

Your not local to me bubbles are you? Im in Herts

 

[Bubbles]

Erm yeah just down the road i guess in Northamptonshire

Babe thing to remember about the liquid is that you cant just touch up a small area (like most colours i guess).. i had a quote for my bonnet to be done and they would have to blend it into the wings too...

But the great thing about the liquid is no matter what angle you look at it, every panel looks a different shade (cause of the sun and shadows and stuff) rocks

 

[Brad182]

Yeah not close enough, o well as harsh as it sounds its not my problem. Renault it is...

 

[Bubbles]

Yep let them sort it, my car goes to the renault paint shop when shes done

i had a bad blemish on my paintwork when i got the car..

Drivers side had to be resprayed... all done under warrenty, youd never know

 

[lawrence]

any car that has to have panel respray will have to have the subsequent area sprayed to match too, due to sun bleaching and colour fade.

the paint code will be different to the name but the paint colour will always be called the same name regardless unless you have a numpty and calls it sunburst yellow

 

[Brad182]

Ok thanks Bubbles your the best! Also Lawrence thats what i thought a colours a colour!

Thanx guys!
