sheepy Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I've got a few scratches from doors and stones, only a couple of chips on the front wing. Can anyone recommend any good products like chippex or t-cut? I scraped the wing mirror on the garage wall last night and i'm not sure how to go about re painting it especially with that part being plastic. Also to make things trickier it's storm blue. Any advice guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Opie oils sell some of that stuff. Let me know if you give it a try.

James7 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 you think thats bad you ought to see one side of my paintwork , looks like someones either got black humbrol paint or wrong colour thinking storm blue was black ... nothing i can do about it unfortunately I'm sorry to say but that actually made me laugh out loud! Not at your misfortune of course, but the idiocy that someone thought the paint was black. I think the trouble is with the metal flake being hard to achieve in a touch up kit. I know that paints for you do a touch up kit in Carbon Blue 210, but it's listed as black, I've got no idea of the match, but their aerosol of the same colour is pretty good.

sheepy Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 just see if any one is breaking a storm blue celica easier to just buy the whole mirror if same color? I'll keep an eye out, I haven't seen many storm blue's being broken lately. This will be the easiest option cheers. I have the Chipex kit for my Storm Blue T-Sport, good colour match. I think I'll something like this for the time being. Can't hurt until I get a new mirror it'll be good to have a spare lying around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
