Paint Stripper = Full Respray

[john182rs]

I need a little help from anyone in Nottingham or near too.
A friend of mine has had her car done over with paint stripper from a jealous ex.
She has the orange 182 cup colour, front bumper, bonnet, d/s/f wing, drivers door, roof, d/s rear qtr, boot lid, rear bumper and wing mirror. Plus kicked in both front grill's and p/s mirror.
He also attacked her new boyfriends car which is an audi a3 new shape same list as above for the attack but scratches down the passenger side some deep into the paint.

Does anyone own a bodyshop and want alot of work or know some one who is very good at their job, i did recommend "F1 Bodyshop" but its a little too far for her to go.

won't this be better sorted through the insurance?
Your going to be looking at a few hundred pounds for a respray e.g £800+

iit will be written off

This is why she is not going through her insurance as she is paying for her car herself.
Also it was done at her home. She knows its her ex but has nothing to prove it.

revenge is in order

I'd be calling the police first off

Shes called the police but because she has no solid evidence and only running on suspision that its her x then the police have said there is not much they can do.

i always use highmeres autos in leicester, is that too far away? i've only ever had wheels and smaller body work done there though but always been impressed.

If paint stripper has been used your going to have some difficulty getting the paint to stay, if I am honest your best off repairing then selling.

Friend of mine had is Saxo VTS paint strippered. He took it to a bodyshop they stripped it back and resprayed it. lasted about 6 months and the stripper started coming back through the paint. In the end he resprayed the bad bits and sold on.

go threw the insurance. its the best way and will work out cheapest in the end

Insurance insurance! I wouldn't pay a couple of £k in vandalism repairs! What if it happens again, the second she resprays it!
