Paint re-touching

electricsheep · 24-Sep-2004, 22:06

Well I managed to put a coupe of scratches on the bottom of my fairing when loading my bike onto the trailer, not too bad, but they are through the paint.

Does anyone have recomendations for a high quality repair

There are plenty of threads on the site on what paint to buy, if its just a small scratch I bought a touch up kit of Rosso Red from Halfords and found it to be a great match.

Don't buy any from the guy on e-bay it cost almost £10.00 with the postage for not much more than a thimble full
what a Rip off that is.....

It is three small, but deep(ish) scratches. I am looking for a a company to do the repairs as I am crap at paintwork.

I have heard of chipsaway, but have no experience. Anyone used them ?

Are there any other companies ?

Rob, chipsaway is a van based franchise, therefore each operator has there own ability, I used one a couple of years ago, the results were so bad that i refused to pay him, ended up doing it myself and the repair was invisable.

sorry that i can't help with recomendations, but i would only use someone after i have seen there results.

hope you get it sorted. Gordy.

rob,

this may not be of much use now ......but how about buying a decent trailer in the first place.
