apoc_reg Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have a black supra and love it but there is a lot of marks on it. Anyone ever had there car resprayed the same colour? I.e. no need to strip the car etc. Would it be a case of removing door handles etc and masking the rest off? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hello apoc_reg, I have just smashed the front of my car up and am getting the whole car resprayed in the smae colour. They are going to take all the exterior troim parts off, window rubber etc. and then spray it over before refitting. I will have to speak to them about the door handles though, good point. They will be doing over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned and I will let you know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 apoc, the marks may come off with T-cut, did with my black supra, especially the dull grease marks around the door handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 colour magic and chipstic are quite good even though I found using the chipstic in warm weather not as effective as doing it in a cool garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
