where to touch up paint work ?
« on: May 22, 2009, 10:18:37 PM »
Hi ALL,

New driver of a Latio (not mine its my GF's dad's car) i m used to driving my family car which is a H Stream :)

Frankly i find the ride comfort of the car VERY GOOD !!!! in fact i like driving it compared to my Stream .. family agrees n dad is actually lookin to sell the H S and get the latio or a teana ... anyway back to my topic.

Been driving the car for few weeks now but noticed alot of dinks n dents and kenna scratched until paint also come out types on the car mostly due to car parking too near cars etc

feel abit paiseh that the car given to me in pristine condition end up with so many dinks n dents .. so i want to send it for repairing of paint ... not to spray whole car but just to touch up here n there .. any shops doing this that anyone can recommend ?

thanks in advance

you can try this shop TOPMAX at Ubi Rd 3. Look for Mr Low 96521933
reasonable fee and good workmanship. He has repaired few latio cars

I have a few touch up paint but I think it only works for those car with new paint.

Aging, wax, polish etc make old paint look different from the original touch-up paint. Black is still ok but my warm silver will look very different. I end up using a small deco sticker to cover it.
