Dear Friends:

 

My car's paintwork needs to be renewed. There are small dents, scratches and marks all over. Where would be a good place to get it done?

 

Thanks a lot for your advice. :D

touch up only mah.. 5 mins job, the side mirror was little challenging.

so a bottle of beer is considered a cheap deal.

 

minor touch up, still can. for whole car paintwork, you got to go and query.

You got any reliable paintshop in Autobay to intro? Reliable as in the paint they use won't fade after a few months, something like that. I tried a paintshop before for my wife's car, the paint was dull and not much gloss from the lacquer.

you can try mine if you like.

 

seem like the last workshop didn't do a good job

 

paint work is really subjective, apart from quality of paint, the lacquer and also determine by the baking heat etc..

that's what i think.

 

for mine, as the whole car is matt in color and 2 tone..

i really had a hard time in maintaining, GS is right, matt is really tough to maintain.

But the good thing is that the car get free touch up.

 

from minor bumper knocks, paint scrap off, dull.. it's all free/complimentary
