POMME2 New Member 21 Member For: 13y 8m 1d Posted 12/11/14 06:31 AM Share Posted 12/11/14 06:31 AM Hi all,Has anyone used and would recommend a mobile paint company / guy ? I like to take extreme care so am putting feelers out for anyone who is known to be good at what they do. I need a bumper repaired (paint only), previously quoted $170 ish from a company. Has anyone used someone before? My car is blood orange with quite good paint, so the repair has to be well done to not be noticeable. Any help appreciated,Regards Michael.

POMME2 New Member 21 Member For: 13y 8m 1d Posted 14/11/14 05:56 AM Author Share Posted 14/11/14 05:56 AM In VIC too many panel shops are, well sh1t. And comparing $200 to possibly $1500 is an easy decision, especially when there is the same guarantee on quality with both prices...Has anyone used touch up guys? I think I might go that way as they seem the most popular in this field. Dan the touch up man also looked interesting, he seems to be a solo business, anyone used Dan?

He immediately said he cant beat a price and I should go with the other person, where as I was after quality work... Put me off a bit, so still seeking...
