Tin top repair paint

[Steve Campbell]

Anyone used these folks :

 

here

 

My wife backed her car into a wall last night and the bumper could do with a little cosmetic surgery (re-spray) where it has deformed slightly and cracked the paint.

 

Her car is pretty standard colour (grey Toyota Verso)

Not used them, but have used halfords custom paint service.

Don't you have a color code ?

Hi Elie,

 

Nothing in my inbox.

 

Took a closer look tonight (dark but at least not -2C !!!). Looks like the bumper needs more than a "little" cosmetic surgery....she caught the corner on a wall - deformed the bumper and cracked / scratched the paint over an area about 30 cm square !!

 

OUCH here

 

Colour Code looks like it's 103 or 1C3 (dark so can't see clearly !), it's a 2006 Toyota Corolla Verso ...a metallic dark grey.

Steve, get a recommendation of a local body shop and have it repaired properly ..... the current additional depreciation on the car due to the damage will be more than the cost to repair it.

 

Stu.

Steve, sorry but with this kind of damage i can't help you. Toy 1C3, there are 6 color variants of this code.

Thanks all for the advice.

 

Going to clean it up at the weekend and see how bad it is (ie new bumper or re-spray !)
