Yesterday, my LION kiss the car park pillar when slowly turn down into ramp to next floor.
Now original paint gone and can see the white color.

Any recommended workshop for touch up and repaint the affected area?
Btw, do anyone know the exact color code for Thorium Grey?

Bro, sorry to see the scratch.
Most spray painters can do the job... issue is, how much they will charge.
As for the colour, they can get very close to the original.
Depends where you live, but there are a few good ones around Sunway area.
Its not what you have...... its how you use it!!

Yeah Bro Alan. If they charge high, me sure "pok kai".
Beside scratch, there is 2 dented line cause of pillar corner (square pillar). You can see on 2nd photo.

Hope can see FEMLab around, need some advise from him.

If you want to pay a slight premium can you approach Mequiars at Jln Templer. They can help you recommend a good place to fix it up. Else I am not sure who can do a proper job.

I know someone in KL, Jalan Ipoh....I am sure the price is cheaper.. My brother in law runs the canteen in that area.. I know the spray painter personally. If interested, we will make a trip there...

My friend send his car to a workshop at Jalan Templer to spray one side of his car (small accident). Went to see the car last Saturday. Looks good to me. If you want to know exactly where this palce is, let me know. Maybe for price comparison?

Mizhael ... did u try polish? From the looks of it .. probably it is the pillars stuff that is stuck to ur pug ... After polish ..u might not see the white ... Get a tar remover or scratch remover to treat it ...
Don't wait for chances, create them!

Bro..PM you already..last time consider normal paint shop also..but.."normally" paint shop will re-spray the whole panel..i.e. lost the original paint..some more..seem that in your case..its 2 panel..i.e door and the back panel..

So I settle with chipsaway in batu caves (check their webpage for contact no)..

Also my research last time, I also considering a paint workshope behind auto bavaria sg besi..the BMW forum said that this is where Sg Besi AB sent their car if got small scratches and paint job..(but still paint whole panel)..might worth to check out if you live in that area

My two cent bro..hope its help
