Touch up or Respray?

[Bubbles]

Just been out to fill up the washer fluid.. and found this

So gutted, its massive :dapprove:

 

[Lou]

Gutted for you. You could always try the touch up and see what its like then decide if it needs resprayed??

 

[Bubbles]

will probably let my bodyshop touch it up - atleast they will do the best touch up job possible

 

[Maz]

Gutted for you .. hope you get it sorted

 

[Lou]

Hope you get it sorted soon! Your colour is the best colour!!

 

[James.]

[Alan]

Carbon bonnet time?

Beat me to it son ^^

 

[Bubbles]

Arrrrrrrgh *goes to look how much*

 

[d4ve86]

id get a body shop to do it, maybe respray the bonnet and get it protected with that plastic film stuff?

 

[Bubbles]

Yeah ive thought about that Dave, should of had it done after they resprayed it last

 

[Alan]

id get a body shop to do it, maybe respray the bonnet and get it protected with that plastic film stuff?

Any idea of how much that stuff costs mate?

 

[Middo]

the problem is waiting for the bonnet paint to cure before the film is applied.

i'd have chips away sort it personally

 

[d4ve86]

^^ good point, no idea on cost, never looked into it.

 

[Bubbles]

Will chips away match the paint and everything then?

 

[d4ve86]

yeah go on there website and ask for a quote, they will give u a call tomrorow probably

 

[Revels]

Gutted for you .. hope you get it sorted

Do you have a special "auto response" button?

I'd get it resprayed, in Indigo Blue!

 

[Alan]

Lol ^^

 

[172 Dave]

dentmaster chips away any of them will sort that on ur driveway no problem!

 

[Rich]

Dont let chips away touch it unless you have seen the the work of the local operator in your area. Most are pants.

If you have a local bodyshop I would trust it to them. Touch up conventionaly/d.i.y will be near on impossible because of the paint.

Hope you get it sorted out ok.

 

[172 Dave]

chips away have just done my pals wing mirror and wing - perfect!

shouldn't be too hard anyway, as its only a pearl coat over a yellow groundcoat

 

[Bubbles]

The bodyshop offered to touch it up before when i took it back to them not happy in the way it was chipping.. instead they resprayed it

But im sure they will do an amazing job, there a very good bodyshop and they know the car well now, their renaults shop

 

[Rich]

I would trust it to them then.

For a good bodyshop maybe not .. but most Chips Away operators :clown:

 

[Maz]

Do you have a special "auto response" button?

Sure why not :clown:

As Rich said it all depends on the Tech with Chips away .. I have experienced the good and the bad with them

 

[Bubbles]

Going to the bodyshop before work this morning, fingers crossed

 

[Maz]

Let us know how you get on

If its bad news which I hope its not we could always do a carbon group buy

 

[Bubbles]

Haha im still not sure on the carbon thing, it would be very in your face..

Either way the bonnet has to be repaired, be it touch up or respray, but will think about the carbon

 

[Maz]

The in your face thing don't bother me to be honest its the bad/not very good fit that everone talks about that concerns me and is the only reason I haven't bought one yet

 

[Little Newms]

Yours car's had more hit's than the great Elvis himself!!!!

Get it sprayed.... Otherwise it will turn out like my mates car, he had one (stone chip), got it touched up, but water got under the smallest gap and then just started to take the paint work away

[DebV6]

[Fred@BTM]
