Hi,
Today I got a local rep from 'touch up guys' mobile panel beaterto take a couple of dings out of my back bumper today. There are 2 issues.....Car is a 2001 VX sedan in otherwise mint condition.
1. Paint colour is Heron, JF073 (I think...). Have no idea what actual paint type was used (laquer, 2k). The paint on the bumper seems to be a shade or 2 darker than the metal body work; at the join under the passenger side tailight its quite noticeable. I have been told that it will ligthen to the correct shade as the paint cures and dries out. Is this true?
2. There is quite a big amount of paint peel. How is this removed? I am afraid to sand. Could it be done via a cutting compound??
I am not keen on going back and asking for refund or similar for I feel that it was the best he could do.
Should have forked out a bit extra and gone to a proper panel beater, i know......
