Timbo343 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Some A.Hole has managed to chip my paint work on the drivers door with what looks like their door, I havent even had the car a month! The mark stands out like a sore thumb and was wondering if anyone can recommend on how to not make it seen so easily. I have put some lacquer on it already as it has taken the top layer off. Would anyone suggest using touch up paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedilard Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Bummer - sorry hear that. Why not give chipsaway a call see if they can't sort it out for you. Trying to do it yourself will never give you the best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Timbo, join the club mate. They left a nice shade of red on my white car too..... I don't park beside red cars anymore just incase it was them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo343 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks, i dont suppose you know how much it will cost do you? I think it should be a rule that people who dont care about their vehicles should leave one extra space. And if i could post a pic i would but i have to upload it to a hosting site first...

Timbo343 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ok, it might not look much but it stands out like a sore thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Timbo.... post that picture on your facebook and yes, alot of people will agree that it might not look much..... but I completely agree with you, that would definitely stand out, and if it affects how you feel about the car, then its enough to spend money on fixing. It looks like they haven't went through to the metal.... so although a polish wouldn't fix the problem, getting a proper good machine polish in about it would certainly round the edges of the problem and make it less visible.

andyedge Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ok, it might not look much but it stands out like a sore thumb Ouch, that looks quite nasty. Even more of a bummer cos you've only had the car for such a short time :( That's the reason I always try to park out of the way with plenty of free spaces around me when possible. I've got a small dent (not chipped thankfully) on my rear drivers side wheel arch that was probably done in a car park. Not got round to sorting it yet, but every time I wash the car I can't help but notice it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedilard Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Chipsaway will probably charge around £80 to sort it out - thats what i paid for a bad bumper scratch a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
