  • Greetings to all. Last weekend I lost control, flew into a ditch and collected a bunch of bushes. As a result, the entire right side is in deep scratches, the rear wing is quite wrinkled, and there is a dent on the doors. The car is fresh, I really don't want to shine with a thick layer of porridge when selling it in the future. Please advise a workshop where they know how to stretch metal with a minimum of material and where the painters really bother with drawing perfect lines, and not just cover up defects in a hurry.

  • I'll also listen to the recommendations, because I have a similar problem. My color is a complex three-layer white pearlescent, which three services were afraid to even take on, they say it's unrealistic to paint the joint, the stain will be visible. Maybe someone knows specialists who have modern spectrophotometers and straight hands to blur the transition gradient in a human way? I'm tired of hearing excuses that no one will get the color right.

  • When they ground a brand new aluminum wing in my yard, I drove half the city, and everywhere I heard one thing: Only a replacement for a new original one. But aluminum is a capricious thing, few people know how to work with it according to technology, because an ordinary spotter will not help here. I was lucky to get into a team that approached the process purely from an engineering point of view: they tapped the hall with a special tool without heating at all, preserving the structure of the metal. As for painting, the guys use top European lines of varnishes and dry them in the right chambers, where there is not a single speck of dust, so the shagreen came out exactly like the factory one. If you want to evaluate their approach to complex damage and see the technical equipment of the preparation area, take a look at https://autobodylab.com/, they have everything listed there. They chose the paint for me so that even under an ultraviolet lamp the transition is not visible. The car was returned clean, without that horrible white dust in the cabin that usually remains after body repairs.
