Smart Paint Repair

[davidjpowell]

Does anyone have any experience of these and how much do they cost?

The Espace has a few scratches that have gone below the colour coat near the Petrol Flap which are really the only marks on the car. It's letting the rest of it down, so debating on getting it sorted.

PS Nearly sold it today - just £250 off agreeing a price

Greatful as ever for any feedback

Regards

David

Yo will probably have to get quotes as repairs do vary considerably.

But just remember... So does the quality of work.

I have seen very impressive repairs, and also repairs that were very bad. (dull finish, different colour, paint runs, air spits of paint etc)

Best to use someone who comes recommended, preferably by people you know to be very fussy themselves.

And remember.. Its not the company, its the person actually doing the repair that has to be good.

Wow - be careful, that sounds too cheap - £45 is trade price. ie regular income from the same trade client who is also not as critical over 100% perfection.

Most bodyshops would charge around £200 to paint a bumper so a smart repairer such as Chipsaway etc would "retail" around half that (£100).

Put it this way, how cheap is too cheap? I wouldn't let anyone paint my bumper for peanuts.... not unless i didn't give a monkeys about the finish.

Moot point - the car has been sold... - Thanks for the reply though.

Well he's still going and did a good job on my motor. The problem with retail prices are hiked up about 450%. No kidding the so called body shops really rake it in. If someone like Chipsaway can do it at 1/2 the price of the big body shops .. well that says a lot.

The bloke at Trident Smart repairs doesn't rip people off with hiked prices. He does a good job for a fair price.
