Truenotch Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey guys, I had a bit of a faux pas in Auckland today involving the towbar of my Ute and a white Honda Jazz. It lifted the paint in a small section on the front bumper and the guy wants in repaired. Does anyone know a good painter who could sand it back and touch up the spot for cheap? I'd rather not involve insurance or work in this for a couple of reasons (already have a claim underway). Suggest me some names. I'm also open to the idea of a perkies. Here's a pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 http://www.touchupguys.co.nz/auckland/city.php all the car yards use them so they must be moderately cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 is that a straight white or a pearl? touch up guys fail at pearls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorensin Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Touch up always fail on all modern paints , if you touch up a small area you still need to clear the whole bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 you can get away with it on alot of colours but ive never seen a pearl spot painted that looks better than a spraycan job you blend out the clear and buff the overlap, looks good for a good few years, longer if done right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincooln Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Last time I asked Steve Levine would do a bumper for about $70 for basic respray. But that was a while ago. Prices may have gone up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
