Excellent paint job

[Tony Beckwith]

As a new member I'm very happy to join this forum - got a few questions for you guys (and girls) but on slow release, promise...!

Just thought I'd let you know that for anyone around the Kingston-on-Thames area needing paint repairs, I can seriously recommend Lee Chaplin of Chipsaway. He's just repaired 3 areas on my 944 Turbo and his quality is first rate. He's even coming back next week to finish a final 'blending' with surrounding areas...

I have nothing to do with him at all, just a very happy (and relieved!) customer. His # 07951 268 603, if you're interested.

Cheers

Tony.

Hi Tony, Am looking for some touch up work on my cars and dont want to go the full front end respray route, what sort of price does Lee charge ?

[Tony Beckwith]

David

£150 + VAT for 2 key scratches and 1 scuff, including spending an hour removing one of those rear arch plastic stoneguards (completely stuck after 20 years...not just a hairdryer job, despite what some people say!!).

I'll let you know what the final job is like when he's finished on Monday...for now, superb.

Cheers

Thanks Tony, I have three small areas I need doing on mine, took it to a body shop and they suggested whole panels done for a cool £2,300 plus VAT. Let me know how it turns out.

Lee came round yesterday to finish the paint blending - the result is awesome - he is such a perfectionist (even more than me!).
BIG RECOMMENDATION

Tony, I noticed you car is red, whats the colour match like, and can you tell its been touched up when its dark?
Ive got a few stone chips etc I need sorting on the Integrale and am based in Oxford so could be just the job!

Hi Mike

Well, the colour match looks very good to me - he seems to take care to get the match right.
Let us know how you get on if you call him!
Thanks

I forgot - does anyone have any advice on how to remove those blessed vinyl stoneguards on the 944 ? Is it a hairdryer/plastic knife job or is there a foolproof alternative ?
I'd also like to hear about applying new ones, as I've just got fingerprints over my first attempt trying to position it (fierce adhesive) so I need to buy another and have another go....!!!!!!
