Chipped Paintwork

Hi Guys,

Can any one suggest a decent paint specialist to look at this for me? Does anyone know any decent repairers near the Luton area?

How much would I be looking at spending to get this fixed?

Cheers.

P.S. I know it needs a wash!

To me that looks like a colour coded part of the bumper. How long ago was it colour coded? Looks like there could be a fault with the preparation prior to painting. Thats not a chip, thats peeling paint.

I'm unsure as to when it was colour coded.

Its probably not covered under the warranty from the garage I got it from though. But if they did a bad job first time I'd be silly to take it back there!

Could try chips away, I did a day course/presentation many years ago when considering purchasing a franchise and it was pretty impressive result.

I've never actually needed to use their services though so maybe someone else has had more experience with them?

chips away are only as good as they person who purchased the franchise and the one near me is terrible, did a small, deep scratch on my dads old car and and you could still see the 12" circle of touch up which ever angle you looked at

Find a apprentice trained car sprayer/painter and use them, get the job done properly, won't cost much more than chips away

Only one way to fix this, find a proper body shop. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
