Parking Lot Incident *%!#+$
Discussion
Right, first "incident" in years...
Parked at the office outside reception, I am inside talking to receptionist, (as you do), fellow parks next to me, wanders in and asks for directions.
Directions duly delivered by me to the honorable gentleman, he departs. I watch him reverse out of his space and swing too early, his front offside collects the rear nearside of my beautiful Chimaera!
Large rubber stripe from his bumper, (about a foot, you'd think he would have felt it when he first collected and stopped, but no, must keep going). As well as the deposited rubber, he has ripped a few scratches into the gelcoat...
So, careful application of a bit of T-Cut removed the ruber marks beautifully, but I need to have the paint touched up.
Help please, I need your assistance in finding a suitably professional establishment who I can entrust my car to for the touch up. Preferably located near Sunbury or Walton...

q405mb,
I had a minor incident + respray on a front wing a few months back. I ended up getting the work done by brother-in-law of a friend from work who happend to be on the same track day as said incident occured at. The brother-in-law luckily runs a paint shop.
Anyway, it was a pretty good job and a reasonable price, but the guy is down in Kent so a bit of a way to travel.
I'm in Walton so if you want to inspect then let me know.
I think someone on PH has recommended a place in Guilford.

The people who seem to come highly recommended on here are Tom Horsburgh, near Farnham (does Adrian Blyth's cars), Tel (01428) 608255 , or Bee Gees at Chessington, tel 020 8397 6080. Never tried them myself but will be giving them a call when it's respray time for the Chimaera.
Cheers,
Alex.
