SupraWoman Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 was going home yesterday nite by M25, was about to take off and a stone flyinh from the front car's wheel hitting my front bumper... for over 7 yrs in uk never had stone chips, and now when i had done recently the most expensive paint work, its happened.. because it has many coats of laquer as well, it caused to lift a bit the area around that spot.. cant even afford to fix it now..

Timwildman Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 You need to get a bra for your car, the paint is so good it must be really heart breaking. I know i'm gutted when my normal paint gets chipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 sorry i dont know, i once had laquer come off some paint on a motorbike of mine, and i heated the laquer and pushed it back on to paint and it stuck. Im not suggesting this by way! it prob not a good idea just what i done and got away with it! Only real way is to have it redone but you already knew that ill be expecting wasted posts from you by midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Aww what a mess; feel sorry for you. Someone correct me if Im wrong but isnt it possible to claim on another driver that throws up a stone? so If you get reg no you can claim? - not much use to you though. 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 sorry to hear about the damage to your paintwork. to be honest the only way to repair that properly is to have the bumper sprayed again. you could claim on your insurance if your fully comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraWoman Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 I dont think Im gonna claim, as just got insured with a new company 2 weeks ago.. as i already lost no claims bonus when i claimed last summer with the previous company.. maybe i should concentrate on pasing bike test and drive my bike.. will be cheaper, petrol wise as well LOL sorry to hear about the damage to your paintwork. to be honest the only way to repair that properly is to have the bumper sprayed again. you could claim on your insurance if your fully comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I think 6000 people die of starvation every day around the world. But the stone chip is very unlucky lol,... but if I'm honest, I drive around in my Supra afraid of bumbs and stone chips.
