Is there any shop than can do repaint jobs "while you wait?"

**garci** · January 2nd, 2009 11:46 PM

Medyo napabayaan ko na ang Pajero Fieldmaster ko and medyo marami na ring scratches.

The scope of the work;
repaint scratched bumpers (3 corners)
repaint spare tire cover
pukpok or pdr apple-sized bump (w/o scratch or chip sa paint)
retouch/rubbing light scratches sa side door and running board

Do you think may shop na kaya gawin ito in let's say 5 hours or less? Preferably in Banawe area para mapaayos ko na rin yung sirang antenna and sound system?

ewan ko lang kung may shop na papayag na while-u-wait, but that scope of work can actually be done within 5 hours or less, assuming the following -

the scratched bumper is only a scratch - i.e. no filler or bodywork required
the dented panel can be repaired by PDR - i.e. again no filler or bodywork required

if both those are true siguro kaya na yan ng half a day. but here's something you have to ask yourself - paint dries within an hour (so that you can safely touch it), but doesn't fully cure until after 24 hours - which means it's vulnerable to contamination, getting re-scratched, wet, etc. during that time. do you want to take the risk in driving the vehicle around during that time?

what's the rush? these are damages that piled up through a long period of time. i wouldn't recommend speeding up the process. Allot at least a day. too many bad experiences na ko before with minamadaling paint jobs. Nagbu-bubbles, nde same shade, na chip-off ulet kasi nde pa tuyo ng maayos...

you have a nice big ride. let it have some quality repair time.

there's no impossible when it comes to banawe work but the primary question would be the quality of the job because of the time frame you're asking. IMO banawe or separate paint shop, give at least a day or two para naman di madaliin at maging maayos kalabasan ng trabaho.

In theory, you can rush the paint job.

But the paint won't cure right.

You'll spend more, because you'll have it done again, properly I hope, this time around.

someone has been watching too many episodes of OVERHAULIN' ...

There is a shop along Quezon Ave. near Banawe (beside Kausamo Spa), that does minor dent and repair jobs, "while you wait". I doubt of the quality of their works, though.

ito ang trabaho na dapat di inaapura, else quality will be compromise kahit gaano pa kagaling ang pintor! get it done when your schedule is loose for peace of mind.
