RedM Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I've only gone and managed to catch the passenger side front wing on one of the poxy, metal flower baskets that hang from the wall of our driveway. Not very happy as the last few months have been Supra-costly. So, a bit of ye old T-Cutte, a phonecall to Chipsaway or a proper repair? Is the wing made of aluminium or is it a steel piece and likely to start rusting? Hey, here's some pics. Apologies for the odd purple tint. Must be a camera macro setting thing. http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/3990/1000577rh7.jpg http://img304.imageshack.us/img304/1751/1000575kj1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I guess it gives me a chance to get at least one panel done in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 ... Apologies for the odd purple tint. Must be a camera macro setting thing. Oh that old excuse, that's what happens when you play with levels in Photoshop to remove the Pink tinge. Seriously though Martin that's really bad luck, I'm sure it'll polish out, if not completely then enough for you not to notice every time you look at it. if it still annoys you afterwards you can go for a full respray colour change Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 In the short term just fill the mess with a touch up pen in thin layers until it's level and then T-Cut it down a bit - I know a fairly honest respray guy on the edge of Leeds but I'm not sure how much that will be.

Ric Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 £10 quid says chipaway can match it they did a bit of work where i used to work and their matching skill was uber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Chipsaway CANNOT match a JDM supra in code 3L2 red paint. Tried and failed already. The best they could do was a super eye hurting red...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ouch, i know how you feel though. Just the other day i wasnt concentrating when pulling in a parking spot with a kerb at the end and BANG. Took 2 fairly large chips out of my front bumper. Gonna have a go with fibreglass and some touch up paint to sort it out temporarily and get he whole bumper resprayed when i can afford it.
