Accidentely Stripped Paint On Front Bumper

[s13-steve]

Hey guys,

I was cleaning my headlights this morning and stupidly used a duct tape to mask up the surrounding bumpers.

When i peeled the tape off i unfortunately peeled a strip of paint off the front bumper

When i picked the car up it already had a slight scrape on the other side of the bumper which im thinking i may just get both problems fixed at a panel beater.

Couple of questions - how much should i expect to pay to get a panel beater to fix the paint problems (pics attached)

could i do it myself instead fairly easily? I read in another thread Nissan do touch up paint for $12 or so dollars that comes with a brush?

Anyone recommend someone NOR?

Cheers for the advice.

Steve

Just use touch up paint. I dont think a panel beater can just fix up one section of the bar, I'm pretty sure they would need to respray the whole front bumper.

would touch up paint work to cover it up completely? the paint is completely stipped in the first pic (the masking tape just pulled it right off)

also anyone know where to get KR4 touch up paint in Perth? I did a search and apparently Nissan is the best place to go?

yep i recomend nissan, i got my front bar stripped, sanded down to remove any scraps & painted and it cost me about 250 bucks

Give Colortech a call http://www.colortech.net.au/.. he comes to you and has a computer/paint machine to colour match the exact paint code.

forgot the dudes name though.. 0413 133 902

Used him to fix up a trolley ding on my evo before and it came out perfect
