Any vehicle painters here?

went to pick up my new bimmer and am fuming

 

looks like the twatty valeter had grit in the cloth... apparently they can polish the marks out but i cant see it meself...

 

how far has things moved on as once a panels scratched surely the only way is to repaint the whole panel?

 

they aint deep scratches, just looked like there was swarf in the cloth..

 

cars a dark metalic grey so they are showing up a treat right now.

They won't have the repaint the whole panel to get scratches out

 

Hubby is a panel beater and I have seen him get scratches out of panels lots of time, don't worry

depending on how deep the scatch is, will decide on what action will be taken, if its a surface scatch then it should be machinable if its deep then the panel will need to be sprayed if its a gloss coat then the area can be touch in flattened and machined

Usual way to tell is to use your fingernail. If it catches on the scratch, it won't polish out. Has it just had some paintwork? If it has it may be flatting marks, they use fine wet and dry to take out any bits of dirt or imperfections in the paint, only if you have a useless company paint it like HAYNES FORD OF MAIDSTONE, they miss them with the cutting compound and leave them ready for the customer to see when they collect their pride and joy.

 

Yes that's right boys and girls, if you are in the Kent area, NEVER have any bodywork/paintwork done at HAYNES. Trained monkeys could paint better.

 

Anyway, I digress. You'd be surprised what you can get out of paintwork, so just check with your fingernail like I said. If it doesn't catch, invest in a little bottle of G3 and Gold Top or Finesse from your local paint factors and cut it back carefully with a soft cloth. Once cut, use a polish like autoglym super resin to finish.

 

Fingers crossed for you mate.

nah mate, not flatting marks, cars in original paint... its lint in a cloth about 20 fine scratches from one end of bonet to the other, all in one matching line before the twat realised and changed the cloth...

 

someones coming out from some bodywork place tomorow the garage are sending out, its deep enough to see it plane as day through the frost on it this morning.

Right, its bin mopped, and its come out, but now theres loads of hologram all over it
