Cosmetic Vehicle Repair (SMART) by Kidmans

Post by XantiaMan »

A quick plug for my website - http://www.kidmans.net/

I do cover other areas but this will be reflected by a slightly higher price to cover fuel expenses, but very reasonable of course!

A few of you have seen some jobs i've done in the past, and i am happy to carry out any repairs or answer questions people may have. A discount of 10% for mentioning you are a member of this forum, not much i know but better than nothing!

The C3 scuff is in the following photo, another excellent job done, thank you Gareth :-D

Whilst I was there a friend of Gareth's arrived who specialises in removing dents, the C3 had a small dent on the O/S/R wheel arch where a car door had been opened against it and another one just above the drivers door where something had been dropped on the car, from my point of view the nature of the dents suggested that the only way to repair them would be to sand them down, fill/spray etc so I was prepared to live with them. However about half an hour later both or them had disappeared, I'm still amazed that they were removed without using traditional methods even though I watched it being done, a very interesting afternoon watching skilled workmen ply their trade, well done chaps =D>

The link in my post still works plus try http://www.kidmanspaint.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Gareth has done three cars for me, the quality of his work is first class and best of all lasts, highly recommended by me and the first person I'd turn to for paintwork. Gareth posts regularly on Facebook and as far as I know is still painting cars.
