BMW car body repair Southport
The owner of this BMW series 1 damaged the wheel arch on a wall. As you can see from the first photo, the arch was scratched and dented. The dent was improved then filled, primed, sprayed with the matching colour and then lacquered.
This car body repair was done at the car owners home address in Southport. Much more convenient than a body shop.
Quality without compromise at a time and location suitable to your needs.

VW Golf Bumper Repair
After an unfortunate reversing accident, the owner of this VW Golf was pleased with the repair. Her husband had to ask me where the damage had been. Take a look in the gallery for some more pictures of this repair.
To repair this damage, specialist tools for plastic welding had to be used. Just filling this damage would not last very long as it would just crack. Using the plastic welding technique, the mesh that is melted into the repair reinforces the repair making it extremely strong.

Wheel arch repair on a Ford KA
Lots of people do it. This Ford KA was caught on a gate post. As you can see on the photo the wheel arch has been scuffed. On this particular car the wheel arch is made of plastic. The area to be repaired is cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt and silicones found in waxes and other valeting products as this can react and also prevent the new paint and lacquer adhering.
In this photo the damage has been sanded smooth using various grades of abrasive. Starting with the most coarse end ending in less coarse. The wheel is covered to protect it from dust and paint.
Here the area has been masked off ready for priming. Masking keeps the repair area smaller. Masking also prevents paint from going onto areas that we don't want it to go on. Known as overspray.
The area has now been primed and wet sanded to feather the edges and make the surface smooth ready to apply the colour.
The area has now been painted with the matching paint colour and the lacquer applied. The paint is dried using warm air from a heat gun and the lacquer is baked using infra red lamps. This bakes the lacquer from within to avoid a skin forming. The lacquer will be hard enough to polish in around 15 to 20 minutes.
All finished in around 3 hours. You would never know it had been damaged.
