Paint Touch Ups

[curlyjimbo]

Hey all,

Bought a Skyline last night, and the car is too low for the driveway - When I went in it was fine, but the angle I went out on must of caused some damage.

It's nothing too serious, and I'm not particularly fussed about it, but it would be nice to have the front bar nice and clean again!

Are there any workshops in Vic that would do a nice cheap touch up?

Picture of bumber

I realize I could do the touch up myself, but it would look crap haha!

Thanks

alot of panel shops dont like to just do a small portion they rather redo the whole front bar but try the mobile franchise guy touch up guy they do great jobs and specialise in doing sectional repairs and it looks like was never done but yeah look aound 3-350 to get that fixed id say.

cut and polish the crap out of it.... some should go away and the rest u can just spray some can paint on it if u dont care about it too much

wont notice it much

i got a few of the same kind of marks - not as big but all over front bar - i tried a few touch up paints untill i found the closest match - u cant tell there is any damage or a little scrape unless your really up close looking - still i know its there so it annoys me but it looks perfect still

u never know u might find a place which will do that pretty cheap due to its not that bad

Yeah - I don't want to dish out $300 - $350 for a new respray, I'd rather just buy a $8 of black spray paint from Bunnings and just go over it, either way it's black - it's hard to notice the scratches.

Wow.. How did you do that on a drive way?.... When I read what you said, I thought you scraped the bottom of your bar...

But those mobile people will charge you at least $200-300 for the job, and for that price, you can pretty much get your whole bar resprayed.

Or maybe just get some touch up paint from Nissan?

polish aint gonna get that out, looks like it has gone down to the primer, just take your paint code to auto barn and get them to do up a pressure pack (spray can) in the right colour, it will cost you around $30 and is goo quality paint.

If its just something like the lip DT Panels might be able to do it cheap....depends on what your aiming for exactly.

My drive-way is fairly steep, 3 turns and if I get the angle wrong it scrapes and the fiberglass cracks

If you can deal with it feel free to touch it up yourself, and if you want a really high quality job take it to MiColour or a similar paintshop, but expect to pay $$$

[BeEnAr]

lol at micolour for that scrape!

Autobarn doncaster used to do the cans so I guess they still would. Not all of them have the facitily to do the pressure packs though.

[xALmoN]

should give DT panels a try eh?

i've got some cracked sideskirts that need some attention.
