So I have just scratched my car - Help Please

[ash213]

Guys, ridiculously i was off on my out to buy some stuff to fix up a car im selling wen i misjudge a parking space and hit the corner of a tiny brick wall which i could barely see.

I need this fixed up asap, is it a big job timewise, and what do you suggest, a body shop? if so, how much ££ are we talking?

cheers

Ouch!!

That will need a bodyshop to repair.

As for cost, well that depends on where you are and who does it and also if the bumper can be pulled back into shape. Often wiith plastic bumpers they can be heated and re-shaped quite well but it does depend on the material they are made from. My guess for costs would be £250- £400 as silver can be difficult to match. If a new bumper is required then considerably more.

As for time, well I am having my bonnet and door bottoms sprayed soon and they want the car for 3 days to prepare and paint.

mate, the bumper is not dented, it may look that way in the pic, it is merely scratcheed deeply!!

can that be sprayed?!

was thinking of getting out a mobile sprayer like this mob Mr Dent | Dent and Scuff repair | Windscreen Chip Removal | Alloy Wheel Refurbishment | Bristol

what do you think? is a spray job pricey?!

just want it done, pretty down about teh car now

 

[ash213]

Chaps.
in addition i have another job for painter/sprayer type person.

i have an MG and i needed a new handle, and unfort the outer plastic is white on the silver motor so need the white sprayed silver.

stupidly i tried doing it myself and buggered it up so have been trying to remove the silver.

anyway need it properly sprayed silver from some one who knows what they are doing! ASAP cos im trying to sell it. take a look at pic..

so thats two jobs, would be ideal for a mobile type person...

 

[ash213]

Anyone want this double job please contact ASAP!!!

Cheers all

 

[F1mad]

A smart repairer would charge around £100 too repair both the bumper and the handle have a look on yell.com for bumper scuff in your area should show lots of guys try and avoid the large national companies in my experience they are too expensive, use inferior products and only receive basic training,

 

[ash213]

£100 I would snap some ones hand off for that price....

 

[ash213]

chaps, just a bump incase there are any people from bristol or surrounding who want this job.

if i get no interest i will call up local buff scratch people tomorrow but just thought if there is any people on here who need work they can contact me to arrange.

if no interest here, from what i have gauged i am looking at £100 minimum for the two jobs? is there mobile type sprayers who would come to my home to do this thing? i dont fancy lugging two cars to a body shop chaps.

cheers all.

 

[F1mad]

[ash213]
