Wanted: Bay Area/Sac Pro Detailer/Paint Repair

sky07 · 07-10-07, 10:40

I have a 1995 black BMW with a several deep scratches (not keyed) and need paint repair and overall exterior TLC to make the paint look the best it can.

Can anyone help me? I've found that when I mention repairing deep scratches on a black car everyone scatters or says have it repainted but I would like to keep the original paint if possible.

I see some great work done on this board but it's not something I would tackle myself.

Can anyone help? I'm in Napa but would be willing to drive a little if someone is good.

Thanks, Sky

Are these scratches deep enough to be caught by a fingernail? I would really love to give you a hand but napa is pretty far.

Yes the worst ones can be felt by my fingernail. They are what bother me the most, white scratches show so much with the blank paint in direct sunlight. There are also some other scratches that aren't as deep which could probably be polished out.

Sac is a little far but I would be willing to drive if someone could provide the help I need.

oooh napa, buy a bottle of wine and work at the same time!

I've always wanted to go wine tasting at the vineyard. I think it would be cool to sip wine and eat crackers with some of the finest cheeses available.

It's a nice drive out to Napa too, very beautiful once you get on Hwy 12. I was out there for work a couple weeks ago and after I was done with my job I had some free time so I went into the local WalMart looking for a tool box and a particular allen wrench set and OMG, I seen sooooo many beautiful women in there it was unbelievable!! Not just pretty women, but jaw dropping gorgeous women. It was a very good first impression of the city!!!

Calistoga isn't too far from Napa, about 30-40 minutes north, I found the best BBQ shack this side of the mississippi up there called Buster's Southern BBQ. Mr.Ikon, if you end up making the drive down to Napa for this job, might as well make the short trip to Busters and treat yourself, trust me you won't regret it! Besides, it's a beautiful drive from Napa to Calistoga as well, and many places to stop along the way for wine tasting.
