LA/OC/SB Tri-Co Area PDR and Paintmaster needed

Need help getting my 'new' car in new car condition, finishing it off.

Rent-a-senseis, if you will. I want to fix it, but don't mind learning too.

I am pretty handy with stuff. I'm in Diamond Bar/Chino Hills Area. 909 (a 626 is also local)

Small chip repair, some swirl marks, door pull surgery, and a couple paint oddities. I have a sedan.

I've used Dent Masters and Paintless Dent Repair in the past, both reputable.

If you get someone to take care of the dents I'd enjoy teaching you and taking care of some things.

If you wanted lend your opinion, it would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this stuff could be filled and polished, caused the PDR thing doesn't always have me convinced.

I work in West L.A., not too far from LAX and things are pretty laxed on the weekends, I work evenings, there's a OSH parking LOT that's usually somwhat empty.

The only tough thing is my paint is a charcoal metallic. Steel Grey. PPG 16X I think. Mazda.

I'll PM you my number. Maybe next weekend, cause I get paid on Friday.

If they're dents then you'll need a PDR guy. Whatever is left from there as far as the finish is concerned is where I come in.

It's my plan to look into PDR as I do see many opportunities for it.

It's actually stuff that's been PDR'd. and small chips & dings. Hard to even get a picture of this stuff.

yes, the PDR would be a good business opportunity... especially here in this town.

I contract out work locally to a great PDR guy but he usually won't drive farther south than Ventura. Please email me if you're interested.
