The Scuff
The client presented a 2007 Toyota Auris, with a scuff and small dent. Unfortunately, underneath this scuff was a poor previous repair job – a bad repaint, and a poor use of filler.
A Bad Respray
Removing the bumper protector revealed the common effect of using an unskilled company to repaint an area of a car.
The little bobbles are where water has crept underneath the paint. It would spread by capillary action across the bumper if left.
Previous Overuse of Filler
This was a good example of some repairers unnecessary use of filler. Less is more. There was no damage behind it, only a bit lower down which needs to be refilled.
The Finished Job
The car was refilled and the bumper was repainted. Please note that to keep costs down, the client did not request a perfect finish (hence the bulge on top) as a bumper protector was to be fitted here.
