Mr Polson 10,214 Posted January 9, 2017 So a couple of weeks back Hannah decided to pitch the G6E against a brick mailbox. Thankfully the only casualty was the headlight protector, but the bumper did also suffer some superficial damage. Now it's not worth the excess to do an insurance claim, so just wondering what best way to fix it will be. It did take all the paint off in a couple of spots.

tpak addict 1,909 Posted January 9, 2017 Some of that may polish out.... The deeper ones as a quick fix get some paint that matches and with a small brush fill the scratch (may take a couple days over a weekend doing it in several layers once the previous layer has dried.... then wet sand lightly with 1500 or 2000 til level and then polish it. You may still see it up close but most people wont pick it from a small distance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLO247 1,713 Posted January 9, 2017 Do you guys have the mobile touch up blokes over there? They would fix that up for a few hundred. Otherwise I agree with Jim, slowly fill it all with paint then wet sand smooth and polish. Wont be perfect but should be tidy. 1 Mr Polson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,390 Posted January 9, 2017 If you have an auto paint store nearby, you could get some touch up paint mixed to formula and use that to colour. Then use that 2k in a can to clear over it and polish till your happy 2 XTREME KARTS XF and steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 9, 2017 Does 2k in a can contain isocyanites? Or is it safe to use at home? 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianj 48 Posted January 9, 2017 Don't drink it, or paint your weiner with it, and you'll be ok. 3 XTREME KARTS XF, steve mcqueen and Mr Polson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,390 Posted January 9, 2017 ^^^what he said lol For what your doin you'd be fine with normal protection gear. If you don't have a mask, the good charcoal filtered 3m face masks will cope with the short-term use on this job. Whether they contain isocyanate would depend on the brand. It's usually only in the clear and is a build up type of problem (long-term exposure) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks for the advice guys. Dan, didn't even think of a mobile touch up service. Might look into it. Otherwise doesn't sound too difficult to fix myself. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
