micropaint system in calgary

So because I'm a retard and decided to drive the g in the winter rather then my other car. I got rock chips in places that surprised me. I was reading on beyond.ca about the micro-paint system that Frank and his team offer.

Has anyone done this for their chip repairs at all??
If so did it turn out like others are claiming??

thanks in advance

I have a black car bra, if you are interested to protect the paint in winter. It won't fit my nismo bumper. I use one on my wifes car just in the winter and it saves the rock chips, I know not everyone likes the look of them but for winter it does the job.

So I went in on friday and he ranked my car light to moderate damage. The whole car with an initial full buff and a full finishing buff is going to be around 375. He showed me samples of the work done and the chip doesn't get fully filled with bondo or anything like that but the paint match pretty much makes it look 95 percent perfect. After its done you have to look really hard to notice the small dents. I'm getting a few ppl from work that are gonna go do this and ill see if he can give us a bit of a better price. But to me it seems deff worth it cuz I don't have money to repaint the full car. And I got chips in places that I wouldn't imagine.

You'll have to keep us posted on your experience. I know I'm hovering on getting some touchups done- wheel well is just tortured on the front- and it would be nice to get that cleared up. For some reason the roof and the doors are bad too- nevermind the leading edge of the hood / lights.

375 is reasonable I think?

Ya I just need too wait for this snow and these roads. I'm hoping the end of next month but I'm not sure which month they start vcleaning the streets at. Ya not I'm fine with 375 but if he says he will throw us a deal then good stuff.

I just want the car looking good and I'm hoping to get a 335 cuz I want stock boost (that I can just upgrade) and don't want to go through the pain of finding someone qualified to work on the infiniti if I was to get boosted. Pls I hate to say this but I'm kinda getting bored of with the g. Coming onto the second year of owning it and it might be time to try and find it another home.
