RedM Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sadly the flower baskets are not ours. They belong to the village shop and post office that we live above. I'd love to have ripped them off the wall but had to settle for taking my anger out on eerything in our hallway. Took me ages to tidy up!

RedM Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 In the short term just fill the mess with a touch up pen in thin layers until it's level and then T-Cut it down a bit - I know a fairly honest respray guy on the edge of Leeds but I'm not sure how much that will be. Michael, Could you PM me his details please? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Unlucky mate, very annoying when these things happen, i managed to drop my socket wrench on top of the wing and chipped it big style. Seems this red is tricky to match aswell, I tried Halfrauds aerosol (3L2 super red) and it turned out too bright a red so I'm still searching.

SUPRALOOPY Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It WILL look shit. get the wing done and if you can get the colour match properly as it will be different from the stock colour.

Hobgoblin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Had my (red ) bonnet and one front wing completely sprayed, along with a few other minor scuffs repaired recently. Someone who paints for a living should be able to match the colour, as my guy did. I paid him £240, thought it pretty fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I got the Supra back today and I am impressed. I'd take pics but think of a scratch and dent free wing and you'll know what it looks like. The paint matches exactly and has been blended but you can't tell. I want the rest of the car done now. Work was carried out by Dodworth Motor Bodies nr. Barnsley, South Yorkshire and cost me £100 all in. Well chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
