Fixing paint scratches.

[Mikeru_r33]

After a nice drive in the country (heh) I want to know what is the best way of going about fixing stone chips in the front. Body shop or is it easy DIY?

My 'line is white (Yes Paul ANOTHER white line) where do I find the code/name for the paint colour. I know its white but there are shades of white so its not that much of a n00b question...is it? How hard is it to do?

Cheers

sum1 scratched the bumper on my dads White VT berlina it was probly about the size of a tennis ball.

He took it to sum guy and its impossible to notice the repair.

I dont know how easy it is for stone chips?

I think its quite easy to repair white paint jobs more than others as well..

Yeah i needed to fix a few on my bonnet after the cruise also.

Just got the paint code from under the bonnet then bought a touch up can from super cheap auto, buffed it all up and it looks like new.

The paint code can be found on the metal plate attached to the firewall.

My suggestion is that if your planning on going on more cruises then just ignore it. I book my car in once a year to respray the whole front bar:D

i remember back to that cruise in the purple 200sx...... and how the front bar went from brand spankers to beaten up uncrashed drift spec

anyways yeah i agree with paul.. dont bother until after a few cruises... when the plastic gets deep chunks missing.. or the fibreglass has holes through it.. otherwise you aint driving properly.
