Chip repair, Preston area

machman767 · 05-25-2022, 01:55 PM

Hi, all, looking for recommendations for someone to sort this chip out on my wife's Fiat 500, must have been something quite tall, on the near side quarter panel. Thanks in advance.

Did you get anywhere with this? I got some pretty deep scuffs on the X5 sorted by Revive and they were spot in. I think they're just a national franchise, but possibly worth an enquiry.

Surely some touch up paint would sort that out - it's not that big??

Loads of guides on filing and flattening…….

Had one quote, £180, going to try another place. I wouldn't feel confident having a go!

I think I would be tempted to have a go at that myself using something like a Chipex kit....

I have never used one, so no idea how good/bad they are, but they look good value and I always thought, looking at their videos, that I would be able to do a decent enough job...

Thanks, DaveA , hard to see on the photos but there is a very small dent so think it will need some filling, so whilst the kit looks good think it's beyond my meagre capabilities!
