MYK Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ok. So just got my rear bumper back from stuart, with trd lip fitted and new bonnet. All freshly painted. Looks like I've chipped it in transit. Can anyone tell me if they think this can be fixed or do I just take the bumper back to stuart to get resprayed again.... I'm gutted. All this time and I've damaged it in moving it to mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spectre Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks nasty unfortunately, definitely not a diy job. I'd imagine he'd have some paint left over, if he kept it is the real question. A real pain in the arse I know but shit happens, next time it'll be entombed in bubble wrap I reckon.

MYK Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Spoke to the local chips away guy. He reckons he can do it but it won't be invisible. And the price he's asking for it is the same as stuart wants to paint the whole bumper. 110 mile round trip there and back tomorrow it is then! Full respray for the second time and it hasn't even been on the car I also have 2 litres of paint matched to my car kept in a suitable location as a "just incase" for paint hahaha Will be a couple more weeks before the back end is sorted but at least I'll have a new bonnet on the car soon.

MYK Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'm just going to wrap it in blankets and pillows and make it cozy in the back of the car. Then drive like a granny and wear cotton wool gloves while I fit it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
