Angry Paint chips ...

So I was being a good son and picked mum up from the station from her week away with a friend. She gets out of the car and the door slams into a brick pilon ..a few big paint chips on the side of the bloody door now..right on the edge....
Just wondering if you guys know anybody in Sydneys south and would be able to fix this up and costings as i hear blending metallic paint is apparently very hard ...
Cheers

Touchup paint my friend, just on the edge you shouldnt notice it.

Most cars get chips on door edges from people getting in and out, thats life sadly ;(.

We use a company at work called ColourTouch and they specialise in touch up jobs. Might be worth seeing if there's an equvalent franchise interstate, their work seems to pass muster.

Is there any within Melbourne? I've got one on the rear guard, there's a hole thats chipped right to the metal and is what I think starting to rust.



Add to that, two areas where my car seems "pushed in" and you've got my car
