Paint repair

Anyone in Indy have a good experience with Mr. Dent or other shop that does airbrush or touch-up paint repair? I was on 70 yesterday when all of sudden my car is being bombarded by sand/ gravel from a truck at least 400-500 feet ahead of me. I didn't even know where the crap was coming from for about 10 seconds, when I saw the numerous cars in front of me swerving and changing lanes to avoid the onslaught.

At any rate, now my front bumper and hood are chipped to hell.

I hate trucks. Especially trucks that spill their contents onto the highway. The name of the company was Little Ton Sand and Supply, truck number 352. I'm thinking of sending a letter.

When you find someone who does good work for a reasonable price, let me know. I have a bunch of chips on the front bumber and hood that need repaired as well.

Re: Paint repair

Will do. I am taking my coupe to Borkowski Brothers Collision repair today. They did a great job on my Maxima, so I am going to give them first dibs. Do you know of anyone in Indy who applies Clear Bra?

Re: Paint repair

Borkowski Brothers quoted me $804.00 for a full bumper and hood repaint.

Re: Paint repair

Wow, $804. I didn't expect quite that much. But I guess it would be worth it. Do you think you could take some before and after shots and post them up here so we can see the results and how well the paint matches?

Where are they located? I live on the southside down by Greenwood and would rather not go all the way north to have the work done.

Re: Paint repair

Yeah, I am not sure if I am going to go through with it. $804 is lot of cake for something that I am sure to have to repeat in the future.

Borkowski is located at 103rd and Hague. Probably a little too far north for you.
