Paint chip

[FF1078]

Wifey decided to open the passenger door into something solid that has not took a tiny chip of paint out of the paint work
Does anyone recommend someone good in the Yorkshire area to sort this out please?

Touch up from Halfords and do it yourself?
or
Chips away franchise.

New wife !

New wife would be more expensive than getting rid of the car although it did cross my mind to try and get rid of her!

They mix up in store while you wait, did one for my Sebring Blue Maser.

I've used Chipsaway to tidy up some errant chips on mine and they are very good. They will come and do it at home or office and blend it in well with the surrounds which is hard to do yourself. Might cost £150 depending on the view the guy takes of the work involved so a bit more than Halfords!

Chips Away look reasonable but only in the short term from my experience.

Halfords mixed me a very good (metallic) match

just got a tin of mexico verde metallica made up by halfords. take the colour code and hey presto.

How close can Halfords get to colour matching paint. BennyD and I both have Argentino Azzuro cars but his is lighter than mine. Surely to get an accurate match the paint on the car has to be scanned and then matched to compensate for UV degradation etc?

Not sure it matters as it's about to get changed again. If you can guess what to, I'll show my ar5e in Boots's window.

new car or paint job?

Our Chipsaway bloke is excellent, but it's a franchise, so I suspect there may be some variation.

I've used Scott many times to do work on both my cars and he always has done a spot on job. Don't know whether he covers your area.
