Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Wet Sand Accident

    Was trying to do a chip repair, long story short I've gone too deep with the wet sand and the base coat is now missing. The size of a 5c coin on the passenger door.

    What would you guys recommend? Would a touch up store be able to patch it up with a close to factory colour match? or would I need to get the whole panel resprayed?

    Recommendations around Sydney would be great. Thanks in advanced.

    yikes,

    I cant help you with the DIY side of things but if you need to get it done by a shop I would suggest - Vehicle Color Design Centre

    Axel can match paint and also account for age and fading, so you may be able to get away with a touch up and not the whole panel

      Thanks just sent them an email. Have you been in a similar situation and know how much they'll roughly cost ?

        You will be able to find someone to do a little "piss in" spot repair on it quite cheap (even a few mobile repair vans), but for best, longer lasting results I'd be opting for a whole panel spray

          Thanks for the advice guys - I'll be taking this to the panel beaters.
