Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi i just want to ask How much would this cost much to fix ??
    I tried it myself with the primer & paint but cannot get it to blend in. (1st time using primer & paint) Scratch repair kit from halfords.
    U see now when u look @ it. Someone scraped a trolley off the door handle.
    I cant get the lines to blend in again.
    They keep showing up.
    The two horozontal lines there
    Excuse the paint going down i was Trying to blend it but brush was too thin.
    Got a bit dirty when wiping with cloth.i have to clean it again anyway with a bit of white spirit.
    Any help how to do it properly would be appreciated.:):)

    Can't see the pic, but I would just ring a SMART repairer to respray the handle. It wouldn't be expensive.

    Shouldn't look too tricky. If you can get handle off you can take it inside and spray it while flat

    I get the impression the op is using a water based touch up brush.

    Tbh, it looks kinda messed up. You should sand down to smooth and start again, or get a pro.
    Are you using the right paint and primer?
