Macca 1 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ive taken the plastic arches off and replaced the vr6 side strips with the CL ones, it all looks way better and smoother, but..... bloody arches have left a scratch behind.Someone suggested giving them a rub with 2000 grit, bad idea , and im not convinced T-cut will work either, so ive got a quote for respaying the 4 panels £280, to get rid of the lines. Am i mad? Link to post Share on other sites

adeingolf 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Can I suggest you give your local chips away a call. They will come to you (work or home) and give you a free quote. My brother started his franchise last year and its quite surprising what he can achieve and at a fraction of the cost of body shops. Link to post Share on other sites

adeingolf 0 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Dont think they would do a full end respray, BUT your local one may know someone else who would be able to much cheaper than the normal. My brother has a guy who specialises in dents and they regularly give work to each other and the results really are impressive. http://chipsaway-online.co.uk/ Thats the link to my bro's website - it should have the national number for you to locate your local guy.Just had a look and it only has his details - give him a ring (Hes extremely friendly and tell him I sent you!) and he will put in touch with who you need or chat with you about exactly what it is they can do.[ Edited Wed Mar 24 2004, 05:21PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
Macca 1 Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Bugger me. T-cut is awesome. thought i may as well have a go with the stuff before calling anyone and its brought up two of the arches a treat! Its also made my botched paint attempt look respectable. Id heard lots of bad things about it but its almost completely got rid of the scratch marks. I used the metallic stuff btw. I accept no responsibility for anyone stripping holes in their paint with this stuff, it wont help if the scratch is deep, but i have been very impressed. Link to post Share on other sites
