Can someone recommend a bodyshop to repair some chips and damaged paint on my whip ? I'm in the Palo Alto/San Jose area and I don't trust the color mismatch stories of Nissan's "touchup pens".

 

I was just about to search/post the exact same question. I'm in the Oakland / East Bay area. Anyone know how much something like this would cost as well? Was about to try Langka, but want to see if I can get something done more professional, shy of getting a new paint job.

 

bump , i need this info also but in the tri-state area!!

 

check out Tommy Auto Body. They are near SJ airport (2 exits down from Ted Shop)

 

Word Bubble... you got experience w/ them ?

 

Bob at Group II ---# K 12 -- on " BAY AREA " list

 

I used Durablend for my bimmer and Acura in the past, his name is Milton 408-315-4402. He is mobile, comes over and gives you a quote / estimate. If it's too much, just decline and he'll leave!! He uses an airbrush. Not cheap by any means, but the job is good. Last I used him, it was $75 minimum.

 

VERY good. Not only me but James and few others member here got their Z took care by Mr Gia. Good price and quality.

I drop my car off at their shop to do veilside 3 widebody and vertical door now. Should be done sometime this month (since i'm not in a hurry either)

 

Nobody knows anybody that does this in the tri state area?? please someone help me , i ve gone to so many body shops and no body wants to deal with cause its such a small job. please somone pm with info thanks!!

good luck.

 

Can anyone share any more personal experiences with touch ups? Post up what you had fixed (how big the scratch was) and how much it cost. I'm trying to decide whether I should touch up a thin 2 inch scratch on my existing bumper or just repaint the whole thing.

 

+1, I have a relatively small scratch (that's big enough) on my rear bumper as well. I honestly think the best way to go about it is to do it yourself the way all the detail gurus do it: touch-up paint, wetsand, polish (with PC Orbital), etc. Too bad I'm not comfortable doing this myself

 

I'm interested in this touch up as well. Currently have a pretty big and deep scratch which has been filled by touch up paint, still very noticeable but wondering how noticeable is it if it is done professionally?
