thebigfelly Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 just power washed the car , and must have had a chip in the paint on the bonnet scoop as when i went over the scoop with the power hose , on the corner and bit of paint roughly 50pence size flaked off down to the white plastic of the scoop. not sure if il need an entire respray on the scoop or if just geting this 50p sice bare plastic resprayed would work, also anyone ideas on cost ? would one of the mobile respray vans work or we talking body shop? or cheaper buying a 2nd hand scoop in same colour if findable ? any info as usual apreciated, starting to think my scoob is cursed lol
scooby222 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Andy's partner at RA motorsports does bodywork and makes an excellent job - if your popping back up there again worth asking them. and you get discount from them on producing a SIDC membership card too
rig-pig Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 yep he is a top painter m8, you would be better to unbolt the scoop and get the full thing painted
neill54 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 You must be a bit like me mate cause if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all!! Neil
marko72 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I bought a used sti scoop from jap performance parts and as it was used with minor flaking/chips I had it painted before putting it on the car. It was about 40 quid to get it sprayed and it was as good as new when done. So I say def get it painted, much cheaper than sourcing another scoop and you would prob have to get a used one painted anyway so more expense you dont need. Cheers.
