Last week, a little shit run a stone down the side of the cossie and on the bonnet

one of 7 cars in a row he did

here are the pictures that I took last week of the damage

Bonnet



Passenger Front Door



Passenger Rear Door





Well i spent the best part of 4 hours, maybe 5, fixing the scratches yesterday

and here is the final results


Passenger front door



Passenger rear door



Bonnet



The faded marks on the bonnet is where i got a bit happy with the G3



Heres how i did it.

Washed the damaged area and dried off, then run a cocktail stick down the scratches to remove any dust etc etc.

Using a laquor touch up pen and small brush, apply laquor over the scratch and allow to dry.

Using G3 cutting compound, flat back the laquor and then add another layer, and allow to dry.

Keep doing the above steps untill the laquor has built up sufficiently (about 5 or 6 layers) to fill the scratch.

Polish using your prefered polish to a super shine (My prefered polish is Mequires Gold Class)


well, it was either spend 10 quid on repairing the damage, or 800 quid on a respray of the panels


bitch who owns the kid is still getting a bill tho

 

A man of many talents mr grace.

 

Too right, she might then learn to instill some fookin discipline!

Glad it's sorted though Paul

 

impressive

 

Glad you got rid of it Gracey

 

Only thing i need to do is run another layer on the drivers door, possibly 2 at the most, as its only just visible in the picture, but you really have to look for it when near the car


first bit of paintwork that i've ever repaired too

 

wow

that looks great!!


Alex

 

looks good Paul.

 

So i take it the scratch wasn't through the paint to the metal or primer?

Damn good effort

 

the scratch was only laquor deep

could of been a lot worse

 

Quite a result impressive

 

Did well fella stupid little wanker who did needs a feckin' good kick in..................take it steps are already in place ?

 

who put the image of a weirdo on ur car with a camera??

 

Sorry to see the damage m8

Good effort putting it right though

PMSL,looks like Herman Munsters forehead and hair!

 

Glad it came out ok, sort that drivers door abit more and it'll be back to spot on mate! Well done!

Mind you, as always, shame you had to do it in the first place!

 

Nice one, Gracie!

 

i vont to scratch ver car

 

gracey good work

but

to th elittle shit that done it

 

how long are your fingers ??

 

Well done Gracey top repairing

 

Top class work there M8

 

gracie, in my experience g3 always leaves marks when done by hand. using a compunder, gives a much better finish. Use a finer compound like g10 if by hand to remove marks. Maybe Damo can comment

 

Rick - i'm after a quick repair, not a bodyshop finish m8 and whats a compounder? is it one of them things used to flatten the floor - like a road-roller with no wheels

 

Nice one Paul

 

If it was only in the clearcoat, you could have flatted the surface back with wetndry to "smooth" the scratch out, then gradually get finer, then compound it up (Personallly I use 3M products) either way well done

Often people use a angle grinder/drill type thing to polish panels more quickly, but decent ones are expensive

Rick, you could try mixing your G3 and G10 together when doing it by hand, that way you will "sctratch" less, but still cut back a little

 

i used to do this when i worked in a garage mate, its time consuming but worth the effort eh! good work!

 

the film HOSTAL comes to mind




your my wife now


did you get a NAME to

 

Well done
is the car Mallard green by the way?

Dave.

 

Smokestone Blue?

 

yes
