Paint chip
« on: 16 December 2012, 20:28 »
My sister opened my rear door in to my steel driveway gate today. Brilliant!  :cry: It took the paint off the rim of my door about 1cm long.

A bit of touch up paint will sort this wont it? Cheers

Best to get it covered up with some touch up paint first..it won't sort it, you might need to get someone to do a proper job... :smiley:

If it is just the edge then touch up paint should work and not show if done carefully. Pack comes with colour and clear tubes. Temperature is important to get the paint to run properly and cure. Pinch the wifes hairdrier to warm the area and then cure the paint :wink:

Top advice there mate, if you want to sorted try ringing chips away i'm sure they have someone working in your area I've used them a few times results are very good. :wink:

Last time I had any dealings with Chips Away [3 stone chips on bonnet of an Alfa] they wanted to paint the whole bonnet!
