Mike Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 OK, 'LARGE' pictures but I think you need some detail.. Five bits on my car - just had a quote - can you guess how much? 1. Front bumper scrape http://sonic.toucansurf.com/24062006.jpg 2. Scrape by the door.. bit of a deep one this.. http://sonic.toucansurf.com/24062006(001).jpg 3. Dodgy mark on the mirror - attempting to back it down my folks drive.. doh! http://sonic.toucansurf.com/24062006(003).jpg Also, two stone chips on the bonnet and a scratch on the wing... So 6 bits... just been quoted, what do you think..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 1K? Buy a porter cable orbital polisher, you will be able to dramatically improve the look of them scratches with the right stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 £200... Daston straight in there with the correct anwser... well not quite £150, but I did barter him down from £250.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 T-cut would get most of that out wouldnt it? Looks very minor espically the mirror. Else £150 to £200 for the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 £1,600 go get a full respray Where can you get a decent respray for £1600? All the prices ive seen for a quality job are at least double that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 so it went in last night The bloke said it should take two days.... ..and I have Charlotte's Clio for work... still didn't stop me killing a Celica on the way in to work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardasaliah Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 T cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Rather than using T-cut as it isn't very good stuff... look at getting some Poorboy's.... T-cut doesn't break down its abrasiveness as you use it, whereas poorboy's does... I would suggest something like SSR2.5 (Tcut ends up putting more swirls in as you get rid of the scratch)...

JustGav Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hmmm, you are in hampshire, I've got the orbital units and SSR2.5 if you want to try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Where can you get a decent respray for £1600? All the prices ive seen for a quality job are at least double that. didnt say the respray costs that much, i was saying how much i thought they qouted him, and why not get a full respray. i thought martin aka mkivstore had good prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
