Hi Guys id like to just inform you of a guy off another forum in your Area. His names Stan and is a member of Northloop. End of last year he was made unemployed and after 40 job applications with no joy, a friend offered a franchise in car cosmetics. He had worked in a bodyshop in 1994 for a short time so i had some experience. After a slow start it now seems to be picking up. He doesnt mind driving a distance to do the work as long as it pays. If you require any smart repairs ie Bumper scuffs scratches chips alloy wheel repairs, you get the idea, give me a bell / Email pictures and he can get back with a quote before you go ahead
Stan is based mainly in Mirfield west yorkshire
Here is some work -
BEFORE
My Offside wing had sustained a small bump years ago and was looking tatty
The nearside wasn`t much better
The bonnet had seen better days
with a nasty scratch in the middle

After -
STAN TO THE RESCUE
Please contact StanOnce the paint was mixed, I ground the rust away back to clean metal
Then applied some rust-eater
using 800-grade wet/dry, the scratch was rubbed back down to the metal
Every small mark on the bonnet was rubbed down.
Stan then applied some filler
Rub that down and feather the filler
Offside was filled, sanded then `stoppered` to fill minor imperfections
Once we were totally satisfied with the filling, etch primer was applied
When that was dry, is was rubbed down with wet 2000 grade to smooth it over and blend it in
Stan then sprayed the front of the wings with topcoat
Nearside wing just sprayed, the paint changes colour when it dries..
Bonnet was removed and hung in the garage to enable even spraying
Once the bonnet had been dried, it was `ragged` to remove all the static and tiny specs of dust
