Best Way To Fix Scratches? Price Please? & Where?


Recommended Posts

my cars been keyed .. few deep and non deep.. i dont wanna repsray my whole car as its gonna cost a few grand..

i just wanna fix the parts where its scratched and theres a few cracks that need fixxing

My car is PEARL WHITE.. Anyone know a place to get it fixxed up?

how much it'll cost more importantly??

thx

I like to do it my self if it isn't so bad, it's a bit disappointing at first but after you keep at it for awhile you become quite pleased with yourself, why don't you try it? They way I see it if you use your brain a little then you can always try in a small area and if you make it worse it wont cost you much more then it would have to get it done in the first place, of course the upside is if you can manage to do it yourself you save a good wad of cash and gain a new skill

Edit: If you insist on getting a body place to do it there is a list on one of the stickies I think, a quick search should sort you out

Edit 2: If you want to do it yourself here something you might want to consider getting

Spot filler: Depends how deep your cars been keyed, I doubt you will need it but just in case

Primer: Only really necessary if the bare metal is showing, although some people like it as a base anyway even if it isn't

Sand Paper: Again if it's not very deep you prob wont need it, but the finer grit will help in getting the peeled edges just don't go to crazy with it you'll scratch areas that are fine

Paint: Check your color code get a can/spray made up (can should be fine in this case)

Clear Coat: Apply last to get that nice smooth feel

Painters Tape: Go crazy with this if you plan on using spray paint, you think it wont spray that far but when it does you'll be sorry you didn't tape newspaper over the clean bits

I might have left some things out, it's really late I'll check what I wrote in the morning....later

just got some work done by Chris at CR Car Repairs he came to me at work and did an awesome job on my car 0431 409 177. Fixed my whole front bar crappy paint and a scratch on my rear for just over $200.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
