Hi Guys,

The other day my dip-sh*t mate opened the passenger side door and didnt realise that there was a wall there Anyway it has taken the paintwork off right on the edge of the door in places.

So, I thought I would try and sort it out - went to the dealership and the bodyshop manager said he didn't have any frozen white paint at the mo - he suggested I buy a Ford touch-up stick, which I did as I thought I would need one anyway. And it only cost me a couple of quid. So I applied the touch up paint to the area affected. IT DRIED AND IT LOOKS PRETTY POO - The colour does not match the rest of it at all, take a look, apologies for the pic....



Tomorrow (28/02/07) I have the ChipsAway guy comin to sort out another minor scratch on my ST, I forgot to mention this to him but do you think he will be able to sand it down and work his magic on this also?

PS - Have any of you lot used the Ford Frozen White touch-up stick? Its like a off white colour

Many Thanks

Will

it doesn't look too bad! but like U I will be very piss off about it and have a go at him! For the damage u can always the chipaway guy it probably can do something about! as for touch up stick did used then on my old car and usally making worth! better have it done probably or try using colour wax that may do the trick to make it see less!

I'd get my friend to sort it out or he wouldn't be my friend for much longer

I had chips away come and look at my scratch and they quoted £110 cash in hand (naughty naughty but benefits all but the taxman.... harah!) for a localised spray job.

Its a fair price becasue like you say.... touch up pens, t-cut and an idiot (well in my case anyway) not knowing what they're doing just makes things look worse

Well the ChipsAway guy has been and gone and I must say he has done a top job.

Before & After pics below, he also sorted out the door and the touch-up pen palava, he quickly went over it with they spraygun and generally tidied it up.

Total Price for rear trim repair and touch up of door: £117.00

Not bad at all.....

Fantastic news!

Looks like an amazing job

I hope the bill has gone to your mate

They have done an excellent job there. That scratch looked quite bad and its all gone now, can't argue at all with that.

Yea the guy sanded it right down, didnt take too long at all. All in all about 1hrs work. Will definately be keeping his number in case!

PS - good job Ive had a few days off work, got a few things done. (I got broken nose and broken finger )

But hey ho!
