Indeed - the locals down here use someone (not Chipsaway) and frankly it almost looks like I dun it.

Probably might be OK if it were compounded a few weeks after it'd dried down, but really a bit dull & obvious.

Yep, you correctly guessed most of the ones I was thinking of! :lol: Outrageous that more expensive cars come with worse paint finish and people accept it :tosser:

Ford blacks are bad too and there are some other cars too, but can't think of them off the top of my head right now...

One for @nucleustylzlude

Iv already repairs the fropnt and rear bumpers a couple of years ago but sadly she did it all again but alot worse.
The bumper has been hit so many times it completely distorted and no longer sits properly on the car.
I told her i will improve it the best i can but ideally i needs a new front bumper.
LOVE THIS COLOUR.
Lilac Silver (supergaycantinstallasuperchargerquickly silver)

Couple of nice large dents
Image

Grill removed and heated up and reshaped to the best it can before filler
Image

Alot of filling and shaping later and a full front bumper respray

Did all the above in 5 hours from 11am to 4pm in 30degrees heat and direct sunlight. Its now a cross between Nitin and a Lobster. 2 litres of water without pee pee. :o

Nice one Scott, its safe to say you really have honed your art in bodywork now, all the work you post is top notch. 8)

I'd love for you to come down down and sort my 'supersexybutstillcantinstallasuperchargerquickly' silver Mazda 6. One of my arches needs looking at following a dodgy repair when I bought it and me now arch rolling it, plus a protruding mark/bump on the rear bumper and some lacquer peel on the drivers wing - that I know off.

Good work though bud. 8-)

Yeah, admittedly quite a distance from each other, but I want a quality job doing. Worth travelling imo.. ;)
