Bumper Scuff Repair Chigwell

August 8, 2012

This bumper damage was caused by another vehicle that went into the rear of this car while it was parked, the customer left there details and were prepared to pay for the bumper repair. This customer was based in Chigwell in Essex that’s well within the areas we cover. We have already been to this customer numerous times over the past few years so we were well known to him and him by us.

As you can see from the photo above the damage is located on the rear off side bumper corner. The damage is easy enough to fill and repair but the colour of the car is a different kettle of fish. It’s not a solid white but a translucent pearlescent white which contains more pearlescent tint than any other in the mix, so requires nearly twice as much paint to cover than a standard white.

The repair was carried out on a dry sunny day which is quite rare at the moment and completed with 2 hours. We eventually applied 5 coats of paint and two coats of lacquer to complete the bumper repair.

Bumper Scuff Repair Harlow

July 2, 2012

This scuff on the off side front bumper corner was caused by the customer scuffing another moving car at slow speed.

He emailed us a photo of the damage from which we replied with a quote within 24 hours and a date and possible times we were available to carry out the repair.

As you can see in the photo above, the bumper scuff is sporadic over the entire corner with the base plastic in black showing through. Luckily the scuffing is not over the wing or the bonnet and located in one area which makes the repair a lot easier to fix, the car is 2003 registered star silver 3 colours. Sometimes the age of the car can cause problems for when we make up the colour for the repair it’s for the original colour and does not take into account colour distortion or bleaching over the cars life which can have a distinctive effect on the car paint.

The car body repair was completed within 2 hours and was drivable straight away; the colour is virtually spot on and did not cause us to much bother adjusting for differences. During the repair of the bumper scuff it did start to rain but we erected our outside shelter which gave us protection from the elements throughout the repair.
