Hey all,

Just did a search but could only really find those paintless dent removal places some threads.

I'm after a mobile paint person to come out and fix up some small scratches on a rear quarter panel+bumper. Can you recommend anyone around the northern suburbs?

Cheers,

Hi guys,

Thought I'd start this thread back up, rather than creating a new one.

I have been looking through previous recommendations for dent/paint repairers & am looking for some opinions.

I need a dent repaired on a front fender of my daily thanks to some careless 4WD type that decided it would be ok to shove their door into it.

Trouble is, they also took some of the clear off in the process, so ideally I'd get one person out to do the whole job. I don't however want some half assed repair job.

Color Touch Systems & SMART Paintworx, are the only companies I know of that do both jobs.

Has anyone had any experience with either of these compainies?

Other choices for dent removals are, Dents Away & Dent Masters

I've also seen something of son of rajab of the Dings, but he doesn't look like a mobile service.

For paint repairs I've found BAC2NU, Adelaide Topline Touch Ups, Superfinish Express, & Up To Scratch.

If anyone could make some recommendations for or against these (or others), it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jared

For dent removals, I highly recomend Dent Masters, they do all our cars at work (porsche's audi bmw etc cars) with great quality. Unsure of price due to it being thru the company, but they did a quick cash job for me on my old skylines door, the dent would of been the size of a coke can an approx 1cm deep (quite bad) and managed to get most of it out and looked good (for a black car) for $100

My money would be with them

Sorry to hijack the thread, but to answer your Q Tangles, if your looking for a crash repair shop down south to repair rust and repaint, I would put my money on Brighton Crash (from memory their next to Charlies diner, their situated on Sturt road if my memory is correct)

Went to tafe with one of their apprentices, and ive also seen the quality of work. Unsure of pricing and whatnot but its whome I would recommend if i wasnt a panel repairer myself.

Hope that helps answer your Q.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
