Paintwork on scratches/small dents

[vimesh]

I have 911 (996 mode) turbo, metalic black and have just noticed that someone must've scraped it while it was parked somewhere. Nothing serious, but rear wheel arch on drivers side has some scratches and slight indentations. There was some scuffing which i managed to remove with t-cut. Can anyone recommend someone who does good scratch/minor dent repair work. I have contacted chips away, but have not had reply from them as yet. I am in london, so i guess someone nearby. Also, any idea what sort of cost would be reasonable for this ?

Give Curtis a call 07930 453 082 he should be able to sort you out []

The only thing I'd point out (because I found out myself) is that the outer edge of the rear wing is double layered and very difficult for them to do..
I had two guys who said nothing could be done, but one guy gave it a good go and removed 95% of the damage.
Mine was a parking/door opening dent to the out edge of the rear wing []

You got a lovely car there. My advice would be to bite the bullet and get it booked into a reputable paintshop to have a proper repair done. Chips Away et alia are cellulose based systems. A poor paint job knocks value by far more than the repair cost.
Also a decent detailer should be able to get rid of most of the swirls and light scratching and give you a car to be proud really of. [8|]
Black is a lovely colour but it sure shows up those paint imperfections. []

This guy comes on his motorbike anywhere in London, is superb, he sorted out three small dents on my 996 before I sold it and found two more that I hadn't even noticed. Not expensive either.
