Paint - scratch repair
Can anyone recommend a paint shop in the Leicester / Coventry / Birmingham area?
I've got a couple of scratches - both down to the primer but not the metal as far as I can see. Chipsaway have already had a look and said both scratches are too deep for them to do. One is about 12 inches long on a rear door, and the other is about 5 inches long on the drivers door (opposite sides of the car).
The car is less than a year old, so I want a decent job, but don't want to pay the earth.
I've been to the dealer who've quoted me £968
Chipsaway recommended MSM in Hinckley, though I've no idea if they're any good.
Has anyone any recommendations?
Alternatively, is there anything DIY I can do to make the scratches less obvious, whilst still protecting the paint. I suspect this isn't really an option if I want to protect the paintwork / bodywork long term, but you never know....
