stone chip/scuff repair service needed Basingstoke

rasco

Hi,

My car's bonnet was keyed yesterday by some yob. So I now need to find a stone chip/scuff repair service in Basingstoke. Can anyone recommend one? Hearing so many horror stories, I'm a bit nervous but I don't have the money to have it sprayed by a body shop.

Thanks!

If you can't have it resprayed the best you can hope to do is give it a good polish. If down to metal then a respary is really your only option.

If you lick your finger and run it over the scratch and it disappears (ie when damp) then polish should be enough.

Hi, thanks for your reply!

sadly it's super-deep, right through the silver paint and down to the black undercoat. I don't have the money to have the whole bonnet resprayed by a pro bodyshop, so I'm looking for a localised spray etc to fix at a much lower cost. Somewhere like "chipsaway" sounds good but I'd like to find a recommended one so that I get a relatively good job done.

Thanks!

If the scratch is longer than three or four inches, they won't be able to do a very good job (unless it is on a curved edge, it may be possible), I'm afraid. It will mean repainting.


ETA: I really need to pay more attention to thread dates. :wall:
