Brisbane Alloy Wheel Repairs

[chappy]

Guys my wife hit the gutter and badly scraped the wheel and took the edge off the tyre,
So i decided to get paul from the touchup guys, because the other 2 wheels were marked and one had a scrap, well paul did a excellent job on the 3 wheels and i can't even tell were they have been repaired, they look brand new again for 3 wheel repairs cost me $300 total, happy camper again.

I had one of these guys (different franchise owner) came out and respray the passenger corner of the rear bumper. Completely un-noticeable. They do good work the touch up guys

So what did you learn from this experience?

I'm interested in this ansch. I've got a small scratch/ding on the LH rear corner of the rear bumper. Been there a year now. The shops are quoting ~$700 to fix it. Who did yours and what did it cost?

Tim, you should also check out Ken King smash repairs. Myself and most of my mates have used him. He did my Shadowline Diffuser.

He fixed something similar to what you're describing on my mate's SV6 Ute - $65. Perfect Job.

Taa. I'm not sure how easy it will be to touch up my metallic blue paint though. May need to respray the whole bar. Can't hurt to ask...

I've seen work he's done on a friend's Mazda SP23 with Saphire Black paint and another's Mini with Silver paint - both touch-up jobs and I'd be happy with both of them...

Worth having a chat to him though...

I called up the touchup guy that works in my area and he quoted $250 for the bumper repair and an additional $100 to go around the whole car and touch up stone chips. So all up $350 and the guy spent pretty much all morning from 8am till after 12pm on it.

I have to put a disclaimer though that when the job was first completed, the repaired area did not look "exactly" the same as the factory paint job. The paint matching was perfect and he sanded it back and primed and painted it. What it lacked was the mirror gloss that the factory paint work had. However, as I have a RO polisher and menzerna polishes at hand. I simply waited for the paint to cure a couple of weeks and gave the car a full polish detail. The new paint work polished up great and I was able to bring back the gloss. (the guy was nice enough to lay a few more coat of clear for me as I told him I will machine polish the car)
