So I took my car to Sewell Lexus last Friday to have them check out my air suspension. Everything was a-ok. They kept it over the weekend and I finally picked it up Monday evening. Car was fine and in immaculate condition when I picked it up. Drove the car straight home and parked in my driveway. Tuesday rolls around. I work from home so the car didn't move out of my driveway all day. I go to swing by a buddies house later that night and I come out to see this.





No note or anything, they just left me with a damaged bumper and broken taillight. GRRRRR

Call up my buddy Mark, whom I know from the G35 forums. He owns his own mobile body shop, that specializes in spot repair, scratch repair, and bumper refinishing. Great guy to call if you have a ton of rock chips. He worked his magic this morning and was able to repair the scratches and cracked paint in my driveway. He's a cool guy and will do repairs anywhere that has an electrical outlet. PM me for his contact info if you're interested.





Got a taillight on order now to replace that cracked piece of poop.

 

oh and he blended and matched the pearl paint flawlessly...he has the equipment to mix and match paint on the spot

 

Wow. That looks impressive, but we're seeing it as a pic online.

Don't you need a dust/dirt free booth to get a quality job?

 

Fantastic job. A+

 

Holy crap what all did he do? That's not just some minor scratch that you can just polish out. That went well beyond the paint + clear coat..what all exactly did he do? I'd be damn impressed if he did a perfect job, especially on a pearl paint (is it 3 stage like PPW is?)

JW did you get rid of the g35 for the ls430? Seem to have a thing for white cars huh?

 

Looks like some awesome work!

Any plans for the Lexus?

 

It was a primer, base, pearl, and clear coat blended seamlessly into the surrounding area.

The G35 has been for sale, but yes the LS430 has replaced it. I've got a Datasystem air suspension controller and wheels are in the near future.

 

Moog,
Can you tell us what something of that size and difficulty cost ?

I know every scratch is different, but just as a general gauge of price.

 

pm me his contact info and screen name at g35driver please.

Between $100-$200...we had done business in the past, so I got somewhat of a hookup... took him about 3.5 hours total.

 

100-200 is a hookup.

 

That looks VERY good... I'm impressed.

 

Looks good for internet pics, but you can tell that he just painted right over the sensors in the rear bumper. And the longevity/quality of this type of a repair is much less than that of an actual body shop.

 

What sensors are you speaking about?

 

The circles below the chrome strip are back up sensors.

 

Nice job

 

drone still does this stuff?

 

Can you pm me a number for his contact information? Thanks
