matt buz 0 Posted March 8, 2005 hey all Has anyone any experience of getting paint chips sorted without getting a full panel respray. I keep seeing these companies that do it but I am bit dubious as to how good they are. Am looking to get a few minor chips on a wheel arch sorted and also the paint has worn away to the undercoat on the drivers cill. I know a respray is the best option but its not the cheapest and funds are tight. Any advice/comapny names would be good ta Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 8, 2005 I resprayed the driver's sill myself and the paint is still there 2 years on. It's a textured surface so finish isn't critical, have a go at it your self mate. Stone chips are easy...fill the holes with touch up paint and then polish it back till it's level with the paint again.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted March 8, 2005 I looked into this too, but didn't think it was feasible in the end. If you have a few dents, where the paint hasn't chipped then I think it is worth doing paintless dent repair, reasonably cheap. But getting the chips sorted out by these companies doesn't last that long apparently - I've been told about 2 years. I looked into the cost and decided it wasn't worth it. So I am going to wait and take it to a proper bodyshop. In the meantime I have carefully touched up any chips to prevent rust.
