Advise on touch-up/spray painting

Hi guys,

Wondering if any of you could help me here - scratched my front right wheel arch and bumper against a white wall and hence there is white paint stuck on my car's paint. The scratchs on the wheel arch are deeper and can see the yellow paint below the original paint on some spots.

Does that mean that polishing will not get rid of all the scratches?

I called a Spray Paint Shop and the person quoted me $300/400+ as he told me that he would need to spray the whole fender and bumper. Is this reasonable? Will also take 3-4 days to do it. Don't mind doing respraying if it's really needed (to prevent rust) but don't want to be slaughtered just because it is a Beemer.

Also called PML and they offered to touch up for free. Is this good enough?

What do you guys out there think? Your expertise here is much appreciated, thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Cheers!

Maybe you could try Yew Lip?

Try Yew Lip, or any of the workshops on the BMW.SG front page.

When you call the shop, it's hard for them to estimate the cost of the respray, since they can't see the damage, and your verbal description may not convey the actual picture... hence they normally err on the side of caution.

So send it down, and ask them what can they do to fix it.

Personally I've had very good experience with Yew Lip for minor issues like this...

Jaskin/Emiffy - thanks for the advise, most helpful. Will bring it down to Yew Lip for a look. Hopefully no painting is required.

Emiffy,

Actually, would you mind telling me what you did and how much it cost? Just want to know how roughly how much as I have completely no idea how these fellas charge.

Previous shops didn't even ask me what colour my car was but rather what car it was, so think that Beemers might be paying a premium...:mad:

Thanks!:)
