Can anyone recommend someone or somewhere in Dallas that can touch up a very thin 4 inch paint scratch (down to the metal) on my passenger door? Color is diamond graphite. I am considering ordering the Langka kit but would rather have someone do it that knows what they're doing. I definitely don't want to have the entire door painted. Thanks.

 

I'll let you know in a couple of days what quality of work a guy does....he seems to know his stuff to be working on high end vehicles and he is decently priced...from what I know if it's down to the metal the person that works on it will have to at best blend it back into the rest of the door.

 

I've used the Langka kit but that was when I had my Laser Red coupe and it worked great. Now that I have a DG coupe I researched it a little and it doesn't work quite as well/easy when the paint has metallic specs. You have to do several very thin coats and let each coat dry or else the metal flakes sink to the bottom and all you see is the solid color.

I have/had a ding in my hood where I had Grubbs Infiniti do a paintless dent repair on the ding but they wouldn't touch up the paint without repainting the entire hood. I told them to just pull the ding out and I would take care of the paint. I just used the touch-up paint like I suggested above but didn't use the Langka this time around.

 

Thanks for your responses. JD - Let me know how your painter does and if you're satisfied, please let me know how to contact him. Beer Viper - how do you apply thin coats of touch up? By thinning the paint? I did buy some extremely small/thin brushes with the intention of working on it and possibly ordering the Langka kit. There's got to be a way to make it look decent without painting the whole door (at least I hope so).

 

What I meant by applying thin coats is just to use a very small amount of touch-up paint on the brush, not necessarily enough to fill in the depth of the scratch, and then let each coat dry.

 

I posted a DIY on scratch repair as did PICUS I believe. Instead of paying someone and possibly painting, try it yourself first. It isn't too difficult, just takes a little time and patience.
