Stewart10 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm thinking of getting respray soon on bumpers on back and front and the guy who is going to do it has told me he uses a £10,000 machine that scans paint first on the vehicle so he can match it up. Does that sound like a normal thing to happen? I just want to avoid having bumpers that do not match as that will drive me crazy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If the companys any good at al they will atleast match the colour properly. Just remembe if you have a colour like, white, red, black or silver and the paint is factory, new paint will stand out against the old...

DodgyRog Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just don't take it to SpeedCulture in Paignton http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?141732-Got-my-car-back-what-do-you-think Silver is a bitch to colour match, but the above was ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Mines at ShellShocked at the moment and I am really impressed by there work so far, although no paint yet and mine is having a full spray anyway They have the laser colour match machine as well Might be worth giving them a shout and get a price, the bonus would be, they know there way around Supra's for taking the bumpers off, as they have done a few now They are based in Newton Abbot I can Pm there telephone number if you want it mate, don't want to post it, as I would think that's a bit iffy on the forum rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
