Thief damaged paint..help please

[robseagul]

Hello there guys. I returned home last night to find 3 guys nicking stuff from my workshop.after a bout of fisty cuffs they ran away.however in the process they scratched the Tuscan on the drivers door.now it's in topaz and the paint guy says paint it all which I think is an overkill.has anybody had a good localised repair done and if so who was it by ?im near chester but wouldn't mind a spin out further(good excuse you see)cheers rob

Give Ryan at SP Automotive a call. He may be happy to do a localised repair or would certainly advise on the best option. He's in Tattenhall so not far from you.

Would definitely speak to ryan at sp automotive - not had my car painted by him yet (booked in) but he seems like a top bloke..especially as it's next door to you!

Thanks guys.i knew you would come up trumps.despite the trouble both wpc ,s loved the Tuscan and the csi chap who once worked on autosport described it as auto porn!!great machines!!!cheers.rob

Give Craig at TrackVRoad a call - they have a 'Smart Repair' guy who's worked wonders with Cascade paints etc in the past. Nice part of the country to go for a drive too

To be honest most 'Smart Repairs' including a couple I've seen from the guy TvR use the mark is still visible, if it's just the door then spray the whole door. If you use a proper paintshop then they can match the paint and the application properly, it's rubbish that these paints need a complete respray.

I'd use Surface and Design in Bristol Avenue.

bd thieves. I hope you got some good shots in.

Sad to hear and as mentioned hope you at least hurt one of them! A friend who's a copper round the Mold area said there had been a spate since Christmas linked to a gang from 'over the border'
Not used them myself but SP do seem to get well praised on here and then the next place would be S&D.

I'm guessing this must have been you last year! -

Two Cascade Indigo cars smart repaired by that man used by TvR - need a microscope to tell it's been done i.e. you can't

Hello there guys.thanks for all of your help.
The door has a couple of deep scratches so it would be ott to paint the whole thing so I will see what the consensus is with the paint guys and go from there.
I did manage to get a few on one of them so hopefully that may deter him in the future but I doubt it!
Rww ,yes that was I out for a blast washing the bugs off afterwards
.you can't go anywhere in these things without. Being reported can you!
Cheers.rob

I will give you or your paintshop any advice I can so that you may only need the door painting.

Superb mr muncher,that's very good of you.
I have to say you tvr boys should be proud of the paint work on these cars.
Very Well done.
