Hey guys,

My car got backed into yesterday and it left chipped a bit of paint on my front bar and I just want to find someone to touch it up.

I've bought some touch up paint before and tried it and it looks dodgy lol.

Am looking for someone that comes to your place and fixes it.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

the key to DIY is wetrub more than what you spray (but not too deeply) then spray area required feathering out, then wait to dry, fine wetrub and then polish. Having said that I did have a lot of practice when I worked at Mitsubishi Motors Factory. I know some great guys here in Adelaide but I guess that wont help...

only if you want your car butchered!!!!

stay away from these idiots, they are ex mechanics that know nothing about paint, i wasted $300 years ago only to go to a proper panel shop straight after to fixed properly for another $300.

you have been warned.

He is my brothers brother in law and was previously running his own panel shop for over 10 years. Not sure about the previous users comments but this guy does all the exotic cars in the CBD.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
